This month-long series is full of hands-on crafts for ages 9 – 12. Projects use safe and natural materials, and range from woodworking to clay, textiles, sewing, and glass. Each project includes exercises that teach skills to young students such as creativity, craftsmanship, hand skills and material exploration, and yes, STEM, although we like to say STEAM because art plays a big part as well. Students will make craft projects to take home over the course of the series. Drop-In attendance is welcome. Please make sure you RSVP 24 hrs in advance so we can prep supplies.

Join us for this special concert featuring music by three important composers in music history. Sergei Prokofiev’s First Symphony, which was written in the style of the classical period, is paired with music by “the Father of the Symphony,” Franz Joseph Haydn’s London Symphony. These two works highlight the evolving sound of the orchestra – and the connections that music has across time. Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate is a Chickasaw composer, who is one of the most important contemporary composers of our time, expressing his native culture in symphonic music. His work Chokfi’ is the Chickasaw word for rabbit, who is an important trickster legend within the Southeast American Indian cultures. Different string and percussion techniques and colors represent the complicated and diabolical personality of this rabbit person. In honor of his Muscogee Creek friends, Tate incorporated a popular tribal church hymn as the melodic and musical base. Sycuan Casino Resort is the Lead Sponsor of Music Connects, which is also proudly sponsored by Mission Federal Credit Union.
