What a way to begin a new season of music.

🎶 Thank you to everyone who joined us for Crescendos & Connection to welcome our new Program Director, Sean Grier, meet members of our new and returning teaching team, and hear more about what’s ahead for Kidznotes. It was especially meaningful to have students, families, educators, artists, partners, supporters, and friends all in the same room connecting around a shared belief in what music can make possible for young people. We left the evening feeling energized by the conversations, new connections, and excitement surrounding the 2026–2027 program year. And this is only the beginning. We can’t wait to welcome our students back, fill our classrooms and rehearsal spaces with music again, and see where this next chapter takes us. 💙 Thank you for showing up for Kidznotes and for the young musicians at the heart of everything we do. #Kidznotes #CrescendosAndConnection #DurhamArts #MusicEducation #DurhamNC
