Music belongs in the community—and this summer, we're bringing it to the Downtown Farmers Market.

Last weekend, our students filled the market with music, sharing their hard work and artistry with neighbors, families, and visitors from across the valley. Moments like these remind us that music is more than a performance—it's a way to connect, inspire, and bring people together.

We're just getting started. You'll find different PSM musicians performing on select Saturdays throughout the summer, each bringing their own unique voice and talents to the market.

If you're planning a visit to the Farmers Market this season, stop by, say hello, and enjoy a few minutes of live music with us. We look forward to sharing the summer soundtrack with you.

In case you missed it, Chamberpalooza brought together each of our chamber ensembles for an evening that showcased not only musical excellence, but the growth, collaboration, and commitment behind every performance. From the first note to the final bow, our students demonstrated what is possible when curiosity is nurtured through discipline and creativity.

The evening also gave us the opportunity to honor our graduating seniors—young musicians whose leadership, perseverance, and passion have helped shape our community. We are proud of all they have accomplished and excited for the next movement in their journey.

With families gathered, food trucks on site, and music filling the air, Chamberpalooza was a beautiful reminder that music has the power to bring people together and strengthen the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating these remarkable students.

Join us this Saturday for an unforgettable evening of music and celebration as our talented chamber ensembles perform masterpieces from the classical repertoire.
