Coming soon— musical styling from our talented families, alumni, and friends!

Thanks to Andrew Mazzone (Tessa’s dad, MG) and the amazing facilities at the recording studio HI-N-DRY at the Armory Building in Somerville, we have been recording a CD of children’s music!  It has been another fantastic community project, and incidentally some wonderful music has been written and recorded.  (Kids from Agassiz are needed for several tracks, so let Tracey or Andrew know if you think your child is musical and/or gregarious!)

Andrew conceived the idea as a tie-in fundraiser associated with the annual Agassiz Concert, which will take place in early June.  The CD will include songs and stories from members of the community, and the concert will feature performances by some of the artists.

The CD will be on sale at the concert and available on the website around the same time.  Andrew has also decided to open up the concert to families in the neighborhood around the Armory, the arts complex just blocks from the New Agassiz Building.  We hope to have a festival-type atmosphere, with activities for kids in the building as well as music on the main stage.  Please let Andrew know if you are willing to help with the planning and outreach!

Stay tuned for updates on the recording progress, concert scheduling, and musical previews.
