Causes: Arts & Culture, Performing Arts Schools
Mission: To promote the practice, education and participation of music and arts as a vehicle of social action and community development.
Programs: Arconet's programs and projects provide vast opportunities for children and youth in the community we serve. Our efforts and more than 90% of our resources were devoted to improve and expand our programs/projects to empower students and children with artistic, musical, educational, cultural and social activities. Furthermore, students and children have the opportunity to work with prominent musicians and educators from around the world. Lessons: students taking private lessons and studying in the orchestras perform for the community during holiday concerts in december, spring and fall recitals. In 2016/17, more than 100 students performed at such events reaching more than 1,000 community members. Outreach program: encompasses charitable activities that promote quality of life for both performers and their audience. Together with the neighborhood notes program, philadelphia public library and others, the program encourages young musicians to perform at retirement homes and communities in disadvantaged areas. Arconet's students and faculty this year performances include: public library of philadelphia (kensington branch), golden living and manor care in lansdale (community center), aclamo community center in norristown and others.
