The Making Music Concert Series

To Support Our Future

In January, the Conservatory relocated to the third floor of Woodfords Congregational Church, a larger location better suited to meet our needs as a growing institution dedicated to providing top notch musical instruction to individuals of all ages, goals, and abilities.

PCM created a special month-long Making Music concert series to mark this historic occasion. All funds raised at these events have gone toward defraying the cost of the move and rehabbing the new location for a thriving music school.
