Congratulations to our piano faculty, Olga Shteinberg!
Three of her students successfully participated in the UNCSA Summer Piano Intensive festival, a highly competitive program for young musicians featuring elite faculty, conservatory-level masterclasses, and intensive performance training.
Over three weeks of intensive piano study, students received numerous performance opportunities, attended piano concerts featuring esteemed artists, attended lectures by UNCSA piano professors, and participated in masterclasses with world-class musicians, including Arthur Greene and William Wolfram.
We are very grateful to Mrs. Olga Shteinberg for providing conservatory-level training that opens new horizons for her students!

Margaret McDonald, a founding director of the Academy, left a wonderful message to all of us:

"I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to lead the academy for 25 years. Thank you to all teachers and students, past and present, of the Academy. It’s so wonderful to see the expert way Yulia has continued the excellent growth of the Academy.
Thanks to everyone involved who made the celebration so exciting and meaningful!
Words from the board members, parents, Yulia, as well as Father Rob, were very inspiring!
Thanks to all involved who made the 25th Anniversary such an inspiring event.
Words cannot express my appreciation.
May the Academy continue to grow for the next 25 years and beyond!"

We are forever grateful for the continued support of St Mary's Episcopal Church, High Point, NC!
Please join us on May 28th at 5 PM.

St. Mary's Music Academy celebrates its 25th anniversary next week, and you're invited! The existence of the Academy is impossible to imagine without the support of St. Mary's, so our entire congregation is invited to help celebrate this milestone.

Business High Point Chamber of Commerce will attend the celebration to conduct a proper ribbon cutting since the academy didn't have one when it opened back in 2001. We'll be in the Community Life Center at 5 pm on May 28 for an evening of cherished memories, inspiring stories, and beautiful music!
