NISOM students to perform in annual Playathon recital during the festive Roshek Holiday on Sunday, December 11 from 2:30-7:30PM. Join NISOM for plenty of holiday cheer and five hours of free music at Playathon 2016!
On Sunday, December 11, 2016, NISOM students will present Playathon during A Roshek Holiday. Playathon is a grand public recital for which students collect sponsorships and earn prizes. Students of a variety of ages, skill levels, and instruments will perform in the Roshek Building lobby (700 Locust St, Dubuque) beginning at 2:30PM and ending at 7:30PM.
Sponsored in part by American Trust, the recital and free and open to the public; donations will be accepted. Proceeds support lessons at NISOM. Playathon is NISOM’s primary student fundraiser of the year, as well as the first recital of the season. Prior to performing at Playathon, NISOM students work to collect contributions and earn a wide array of prizes as a reward for reaching their goals. These prizes are generously contributed by area businesses.
This year there will be even more ways to have fun at Playathon! Refreshments and cookies will be available throughout the entire Playathon performance. The Roshek building holds its annual Roshek Holiday during this time every year. Take some time to walk around and view the beautiful and festive decorations, all in support of local non-profits, including NISOM! Activity sheets will be available for kids--or adults! We will also hold periodic prize drawings during the concert. All audience members are invited to enter for free! Must be present to win.
In an effort to make music education accessible for anyone who is interested, NISOM’s student-paid fees do not cover all the costs associated with providing lessons, and Playathon is but one of the ways NISOM and its students make up the difference. The Northeast Iowa School of Music is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. If you are interested in making a contribution, please call the NISOM office at (563) 690-0151 or donate easily online by visiting nisom.com and clicking on the “Donate Now” icon.
