Mini Concerts & Jam Session
Friday, June 12: 7 PM at Park Church
Join us for a fun evening of music at Park Church in Streator, IL. Three mini concerts will feature different kinds of music, with how-to’s and a chance to ask questions.
We will then break up into groups, based on your instrument and skill level, to prep for the all-group Jam Session with skilled technicians and teachers.
Everyone can then sit back and watch the professionals “Jam.”
This is meant to be a fun and participatory night when all in attendance can celebrate the ability to be together and make music.
Low pressure, fun, inspirational. Let us know you’re coming with your instrument at the sign up below!
