What exactly is an informance?

An informance is an informal performance that informs parents and audience members about grade-level curriculum, daily music activities, and specific subject content that was addressed by a piece of music.  Its name is derived from a combination of “information,” “informal,” and “performance.”

Come get a first-hand look into your child's musical experience!  See you on the 15th!
