July 19, David Shaheed the MYO
Join us next Tuesday for a presentation by David Shaheed, Retired Marion County Judge and a performance by students and teachers of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra.
The Metropolitan Youth Orchestra (MYO) is a youth and family development program that uses music for social change. Founded by Betty Perry in 1995, it is now the flagship education program of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and a two-time recipient of an Indianapolis Rotary Foundation grant. The program is designed to use the life skills learned through music instruction to engage youth in activities that discourage at-risk behaviors and keep them committed to staying in school.
This season MYO is celebrating its 20th anniversary of transforming lives through music. Judge David Shaheed will share his experience as the grandfather of an MYO student and an adult participant. Join us to learn about how this program is so much more than just music education- it is about creating great citizens through character education, family engagement and mentorship.
