Our Band & Choir to Host Concert for All

Our music program goes beyond teaching students how to play instruments and sing. It provides a transformative experience that deepens students’ understanding of music — its origins, influences, and theory — and encourages them to apply these concepts in performance.

Our Band & Choir will present its Concert for All on Tuesday, June 2nd at 7:30 p.m. in the Competition Center at BVT, 65 Pleasant St., Upton. Conducted by Dr. Colton Cox, the performance will showcase students' musical talents. The ensembles will perform a diverse selection of music spanning genres from folk and classical to pop and movie soundtracks, and incorporate singing in multiple languages.

The music program has received instrument donations from Hungry for Music, as well as grant funding from local cultural councils. This support is instrumental in building a sustainable program that increases equitable access to a broad range of musical instruments for students. Each instrument placed in a student’s hands represents an opportunity for learning and increased participation in the school’s band program. By removing financial and other barriers, the program ensures greater access to music education for students who might otherwise be unable to participate.

Students, families, and community members are invited to attend the free, public performance. This program is funded in part by grants from the Grafton, Northbridge, and Upton Cultural Councils, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council's Local Cultural Councils LCC Program.
