Music in the Parks

Music In The Parks is an educationally-focused music festival that provides school performing ensembles the opportunity to learn from exceptional conductors in the field of music education today. Our mission is to bring together these student musicians and adjudicator-clinicians for performances with the result being musical growth, achievement and recognition for both the individuals and the participating music programs. The events take place over multiple weekends in the spring in cities across the United States. The event is culminated by a celebratory awards ceremony where all participants are honored for their commitment to quality in music education. Music In The Parks was founded by Dr. James Wells in 1981, and along with Festivals of Music and EPN Travel Services is part of the Educational Programs Network.
