7/25/10: Teachers Recital Raises Money for Scholarship Fund

Congratulations to the teachers who performed in the recital. The concert was a success and raised $500 towards the scholarship fund. The money was generously donated by the Golden Valley Music Society and was part of the Classics at the Merc concert series at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. Money will be used to sponsor lessons for students of MTAC Teacers, and will also be used to cover fees for upcoming MTAC events. Together, the Temecula community, teachers and students are doing a wonderful job of keeping arts and music alive in the Valley. Join us again on August 22 for the second concert of this nature, again, 3:00 PM Sunday at the Merc in Old Town Temecula.
