🎵 Our Students Shine at Carnegie Hall!

60 Performers • 2 Shows • 1 Unforgettable Experience

On October 12th, 2025, sixty talented students from the Harrison School of Music and New City School of Music took the stage at the legendary Carnegie Hall as part of our 2025 Destination Recital — and what an incredible experience it was!

Across two inspiring performances, students of all ages showcased their musical talents on one of the most famous stages in the world. From piano and voice to guitar, violin, and drums, each performance reflected countless hours of dedication, practice, and love for music.

For many students, performing at Carnegie Hall was truly a dream come true — and for families, it was an emotional moment filled with pride, joy, and celebration.

At both the Harrison School of Music and New City School of Music, we believe music education goes far beyond weekly lessons. Through our Destination Recital Series, students have the opportunity to perform in world-class venues and musically rich destinations such as:

🎸 The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH
🎤 Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis, TN
🎷 New Orleans, LA
🎻 The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

These once-in-a-lifetime experiences help our students grow in confidence, develop stage presence, and create lasting memories that extend well beyond their musical journey.

We’re so proud of all of our Carnegie Hall performers — you continue to inspire us every day!

We can’t say where just yet… but let’s just say this stage has a vibe. 🎸

It’s a place where music once changed the world — a place that still echoes with music history. 🌼

In 2026, we’re bringing our Destination Recital to a venue unlike anything we’ve ever done before. Imagine performing where music history was made… surrounded by open skies, incredible energy, and the spirit of pure artistic freedom.

This isn’t just another recital — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 🌈

Sunday, November 8, 2026 — mark your calendars now.

Because when we finally announce where we’re headed, you’ll want to be among the first to sign up. 👀

Stay tuned for more details — the reveal is coming soon.
