This Sunday (3/1/2026), our Overture and Allegretto students will fill the Sanctuary of First United Methodist Church. This concert, like Nextgen’s Fall concert from October, brings these two stunning groups together on one stage, providing an exciting new experience for players and audience members alike.

As we dive into 2026, we’re looking back at exciting music, guest performers and composers, new venues and new collaborations! Month by month, we’re going through the year, and showing gratitude for all the support, all the great performances, and hope for what the new year brings! 

We're recapping our November concert, "The White Star," with this blog post. Executive Director Caroline Burns sat down with composer and violist Bernard Kane to discuss his life and work, discovering that inspiration can be found everywhere.
