Good music for a great cause! 🎶💚

We’re so grateful to Blue Tree Music Education for bringing our community together through music while supporting the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization and Midtown Farmers Market!

Join us for the Blue Tree Faculty Benefit Recital on October 2 & 3, featuring Blue Tree music instructors performing everything from Beethoven and Bach to jazz and more!

Half of all donations collected at the door will go toward our Midtown Bucks program, which helps make fresh, local food more accessible by matching EBT dollars at the market, especially as our community navigates SNAP cuts.

📅 October 2 & 3, 2026
⏰ 7:30 PM
📍 Blue Tree Annex | 736 E 41st St, Minneapolis
🎟️ Suggested donation: $15 per seat cash or Venmo at the door

IMPORTANT: Seating is very limited both nights! Be sure to reserve ALL the seats you’ll need for your chosen performance through the link in our bio or at www.corcoranmpls.org

Whether you’re a music lover or simply looking for a way to support your South Minneapolis community, we’d love to see you there!

Share this Reel with someone who would love a night of live music for a great cause! 💚
