School is right around the corner, which means it's time for that annual closet clean-out! Outgrown clothes, old backpacks, and everything in between are finding a new home.
While you're sorting through the house, keep an eye out for any instruments that are no longer being used. 🎺🎻🎷
Our friends at the Mid-Columbia Symphony are collecting donated instruments for their new Instrument Petting Zoo—a hands-on experience at community events where kids (and adults!) can try different instruments, discover a new passion, and maybe even begin their musical journey.
That instrument collecting dust in your closet could be the one that inspires the next generation of musicians. 🎶
Do you have an instrument tucked away in a closet that's no longer being played? Give it a second life by donating it to the Mid-Columbia Symphony!
When children have the chance to hold and try real instruments at our Instrument Petting Zoo, something magical can happen. A single moment of curiosity can spark a lifelong love of music—or help a young musician discover the instrument they're meant to play.
If you have a gently used instrument you'd like to donate, we'd love to put it into the hands of the next generation of musicians. Email [email protected] for more information or to arrange a drop off.
