This year we have wonderful things in store for attendees. Performances, fantastic key note presenters such as Omar Thomas, Antonio Cuyler, PhD, and China Wilson, session presenters from over 20 states, special discount dinner events, food trucks, and a fantastic finale concert where gospel meets orchestra with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra – ALL included in your registration.

The future of music education, advocacy, performance and research is uncertain but it is my hope that this convening will bring together thought leaders to shape the future. Learn more...
