ENCORE
Encore is a legacy program that was discontinued in 2022. It was our used instrument recycling program that was started in 1997. We collected used instruments and provided to youth who would otherwise not be able to participate in music programs or to school music programs to ensure that all youth have access to music. Due to decreasing demand and rise in operating costs this program was no longer relevant or cost effective so after 25 years this program was retired in 2022
