Interview with Amy Ricther of Music Workshop

Amy Richter, founder and Executive Director of Music Workshop joins us to talk about the Soundwaves concert series for youth. Portland based Music Workshop is a 501(c)3 non-profit that creates and provides K-8 teachers with free access to high-quality, culturally responsive music education to more than 3.7 million students worldwide. Learn more at www.MusicWorkshop.org. We are bringing the world of music to students everywhere! Music is for everyone!


Music Workshop’s Summer Soundwaves is a series of 8 concerts bringing young people and their families to The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, for interactive performances with exciting and inspiring musicians. The musicians in this series represent a variety of genres and cultures and personally tell their stories and share their music, providing inspiration and encouragement to the youth to use music as a tool in their own lives. Young people will have the opportunity to experience, interact and engage with these exciting and inspiring artists – all free of charge. Each youth will receive a themed activity pack with colored pencils as well as healthy snack bags to take home.
