Bau’s BlaugThe latest news from “the Big Cheese” – Executive Director Bau Graves. And So It BeginsAugust 5 marks an important milestone in the history of Old Town School: in a simple ceremony with hard hats, shovels, and lots of music (of course), we broke ground on construction of a new facility. In a year, there’ll be a new building in Lincoln Square.
This is a milestone because it propels our School into an exciting new era, opening up new possibilities for creativity and community. It is important because Old Town School is the most prominent voice for folk and popular music and dance in America’s public cultural arena. The fact that we are able to undertake this major new project helps to secure the long term vitality of the music we love. The only reason Old Town School is in a position to make this investment, is because for many years our community has invested itself in the School. We now need our community’s financial support to complete the new facility. Please consider making a contribution to the Capital Campaign. You’ll see the fruits of your donation growing in our lot during the next year. But the real results will last as long as folk music is a part of our lives. Log on to oldtownschool.org/together/ for all the details about how to make a contribution. All together now, we can build our community.
