MEANYC Fall Gathering on Mon, 10/3 from 6PM-8PM

We are hosting our annual Fall Gathering on Monday, October 3rd from 6PM-8PM at the Kaufman Music Center. This is the first time we’ve held this in-person event since 2019! You can expect an evening of live music from the York College Alumni Combo and the chance to meet and connect with NYC’s music educators. There will also be a 50/50 raffle. Refreshments are being provided by our fellow NYC music education organizations—Education Through Music, Kodaly Organization of New York, Music Will (formerly Little Kids Rock), New York American Choral Directors Association, and The New York City Chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association. Kaufman’s COVID-19 policy requires guests to wear masks when not actively eating or drinking. This is a 21+ event because alcohol will be served.
