In addition to our commitment to quality music education, we are proud to be an active member of the Evanston community. We support local schools and partner with organizations that have similar goals of making music more accessible to all. In 2007, we were honored to receive the Evanston Mayor’s Award for the Arts, recognizing our dedication to music education and our history as an arts incubator. We look forward to continuing to create opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to explore and learn music.
The Musical Offering's musical theater training program for students ages 10-14 who are interested in exploring and developing their musical (vocal and instrumental), acting, and stage presence skills. Howard Godfrey (of ETHS, King Arts, and Musical Offering fame and currently a student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston) is the creator and director of this year's original musical. In the tradition of our high school "MO Show" annual production, students will be involved in bringing to life all aspects of the show, culminating in a final live performance at the Devonshire Theater in Skokie.
