The Brooklyn Music School 2023-24 has already been filled with exciting new offerings within our Programming Department, while still featuring staples such as our MLK Celebration concert, monthly recitals, and Holiday Spectacular.  We have seen incredible growth and increased impact with Adult Programming in particular, as well as Early Childhood and Musical Theater.

As we forge into the spring, the Brooklyn Music School is taking calculated steps to better understand the populations we serve, areas that we hope to impact in the future, and how we can build an even more diverse team of administrative staff and teaching artist faculty.  Our organization has also recently completed some major upgrades to the facility, including more than 25 new classroom door replacements, ceiling improvements in the basement, and a better imagined layout of classroom configurations.  BMS has also officially embarked on a major renovation of the Playhouse exterior through the support of the Department of Design and Construction.  This critical repair to the roof and upper areas of the Playhouse is now slated to be completed in the coming years.  We believe these upgrades will continue the advancement of how we can better improve the overall experience of delivering dozens upon dozens of performing arts programs to the broader community.  

As always, BMS will be exploring several fundraising events between now and through the summer months, which will range in size, atmosphere and features.  In order to uphold our core mission of providing affordable and accessible, quality programming, we hope to raise critical funds through upcoming events and artistic experiences for the community to support these efforts. 

This season we will have many exciting happenings starting this month!  With Women's History Month, BMS will celebrate many of the women who made profound contributions to the arts over the decades.  Our annual Middle School Jazz Fest, Shredfest Rock Department concert, and Spring Spectacular are just some of the major performance opportunities on the horizon.  We also hope your children will join us in one or more of our summer offerings, from Summer Institute and Summer Intensives, to private lessons, ensembles, and more.  

On behalf of my esteemed colleagues and staff at the Brooklyn Music School, we proudly serve the community to continue providing as many artistic experiences to the public as we can.  Have a wonderful and safe spring season, and we'll see you at the Brooklyn Music School soon!
