Stages Music School has long been part of the creative ecosystem that helped shape Mercer Street and our region. Earlier this year, Stages officially became a program of RiffRaff Arts Collective, strengthening a partnership that has existed for many years. This masterclass is one example of the expanded opportunities for learning, creativity, cultural exchange, and community connection we hope to create in the years ahead.
Space is limited. Please preregister by emailing stages@theriffraff.net or calling 304-320-8833.
