Family Friday & Silent Auction
On Friday, April 18 at 7:15 PM, get a glimpse of some of our programs at the CMC Showcase Concert - a demonstration of the amazing musical skills of our students. Performers include a Suzuki violin class, an Orff Instrument Ensemble (xylophones and other percussion instruments), and advanced instrumentalist performing virtuoso solos. All ages welcome!
It promises to be a really good Friday, because our Silent Auction launches that evening as well, and runs through May 4 in the CMC lobby.
Admission is free, with suggested donation of $5.00 ($15 for a family of any size) for the concert. There is no charge to view items or place a bid in the auction, so it is easy to win big!
The Family Friday series is sponosred by Larkins Vacura; this concert also sponsored by Papa John's Pizza at SE 33rd & Powell as part of the Making Musicians Festival. Support this event!
