Community
We’re a community of musicians, dedicated to bring the passion of music to your life.
Music is universal, however children perceive it differently than adults. Not necessarily, but it does need to be introduced differently. Unionville Music Academy Competition shows that classical music isn’t something only for grownups.
Children and young people require music to be presented in vivid ways. UMAC uses special concert formats as well as a richly varied, age-based program aimed at young people, including the very youngest listeners.After all, children aren’t just the audiences of tomorrow but are already the listeners of today!
the most promising students recommended by the adjudicators will have opportunities to participate in a “Star’s Concerts” organized by UMAC for Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Kindergartens and other community events in the upcoming year, stay tuned for more information.
