The chosen winners will perform in a recital with the proceeds going to support music in our public schools. The recital will also include an interview by a celebrity host. Last years’ master of ceremonies was Christopher O’Riley.If you know of a public institution that would benefit from this recital, please contact info@symf.org with your suggestion.
