Be a Main Character 🧗

We're busy planning our next concert and we want YOU to become a main character for our next performance! 

This concert is set to be the best yet and you can be a part of it. Not only are we hosting our 3rd annual composer competition, but we're also partnering with a brand new venue, premiering the music of 3 composers, and unearthing a long lost arrangement, all while highlighting the video game, Celeste. 

Are you ready to help us climb the mountain?
