PHS Music Presents
What Sweeter Music
2021 Winter Instrumental Music Concert
We take great pride and pleasure in creating art to serve our community. Admission tickets are a nominal way for us to continue to support our students. We are asking that your family consider donating What-You-Can in lieu of our normal ticket prices of $5/$10. All proceeds earned during this week's concerts will be split 50/50 between PHS Music Boosters to support our music programs and Alzheimer's OC to help families dealing with supporting loved ones with dementia and memory care.
Thank you for your continued support!
