The Family Friday Series features popular local musicians in a live, informal setting appropriate for audiences of any age.   Concerts are run by volunteers, and all proceeds benefit scholarships and other programs at the Community Music Center (CMC).  Note: these events feature a 'no shushing' atmosphere, so anticipate some level of disctractions from young audience members above what you'd expect at a traditional sit-and-listen concert.

The Community Music Center (CMC) is a Portland Parks & Recreation facility in partnership with an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that raises money to help subsidize tuition fees at the school.  It serves families across the Portland area and supports those with limited economic means by increasing access to music performances and educational opportunities.  Benefit concerts such as this one support a need-based scholarship fund that enables students to follow their dreams in music.  For more information, call 503-823-3177 or visit www.communitymusiccenter.org.
