Project Description

Alaska Virtual Music served a statewide audience with music education and performance options. The community was served by giving access to education and performance options that are not normally available to the public. This access allowed for a no barrier entrance to what AYO does at any level requested.

Impact

The workshop was successful in that it allowed us to more clearly define where we're going and what workshops to offer in the future. It also gave us a new voice in the community that built on the voice we established during the pandemic. The community now knows that we do more than just the Anchorage Youth Symphony.
