Performances
Take the stage!
Performing in front of peers, teachers, and a live audience is a cornerstone of the Settlement experience. It encourages regular practice, builds confidence, and gives our students the opportunity to show off their hard work! We offer a variety of performance opportunities, so be sure to check your local branch postings and the calendar at settlementmusic.org to see what might be right for you.
