Our # 3 spot is goes to our 2022-2023 All Stars Orchestra! This group has been practicing two hours a week since October, and their winter concert two weeks highlighted their musical growth and development. We can't wait to hear them again in the spring!

Coming in at #2 (and a very close second to #1) is Harmony Program in the news! We’ve been very fortunate this year to be featured on NY1, NBC 4, PIX11 and the New York Social Diary. If you haven’t had a chance to check them out yet, visit our website and click on the news links.

Finishing off our Top 10 moments of 2022, and coming in at #1 is our growth! We tripled our student population in 2022, reaching children in early grades and providing instruction during the school day, afterschool and online. We can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store!

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year! Here's to 2023!
