Astoria Schools Music Education Benefit Concert
Luke & Katie of Blind Pilot to make guest appearance at Beyond the Sound An Astoria Schools Music Education Benefit Concert (Astoria, OR.)
The month of March has been officially designated by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) for the observance of Music In Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®), the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation.
To bring awareness to MIOSM® the Astoria High School Band, Choir, and Orchestra are hosting a special benefit concert featuring special guest appearances by Luke & Katie of the wildly popular indie rock band Blind Pilot. Luke and Katie will join the AHS students and a handful of Astoria’s notable musicians March 17th at the Liberty Theater for the first ever Beyond the Sound, Astoria Schools Music Education benefit Concert. The concert, Beyond the Sound, will feature all genres of music from classical to folk to jazz to contemporary choral selections.
The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children – and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music. MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the benefits that music brings to students of all ages.
The concert begins at 7:00 pm, Friday, March 17th at the Liberty Theater in Astoria. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children ages 6 to 17, under 6 are free. All proceeds from the event will support music education in the Astoria School District; helping our students develop skills for college, career and life success.
