WPMA’s Monthly Spotlight Concert Series
The dynamic Monthly Spotlight Concert Series embodies WPMA’s educational philosophy of learn-by-doing. WPMA students share their music with audiences through dozens of performances each year, including solo and chamber music performances, studio and masterclasses, and orchestral concerts. We believe every student should have the opportunity to perform often and work with an accompanist, which is why we introduced the Monthly Spotlight Concert Series and made it completely free for all WPMA students to take part. Many students who perform in our Monthly Spotlight Concert Series go on to win Concertmaster, Principal, and leadership seats in All-State and other top youth orchestras.
