The impact of music in public schools can provide access & remove barriers. Proud of my Gr. 12's who overcame COVID, quadmesters & virtual orchestras w/ resilience, passion, & soul. Bravo to all musicians last night for making it a magical evening! 🎶✨ #Grateful #Proud

Music for Life 2.0! Last night’s UTSC Concert was electric, amplifying the message of how music fosters community. Many students are studying for careers other than music, but are determined to find comfort & purpose through their continued musical journey. Bravo Tutti! @utscarts

This is “music for life!” More than 100 musicians spanning elementary through to adulthood came together in a concert celebrating the Joy of Strings! Thank you to the @SPOGreatMusic, @utscarts String Orchestra, @tdsb’s Sir Oliver Mowat C.I. & @SistemaToronto

Saying that I am proud is an understatement after our first in-person Mowat Music Concert in over 2.5 years! The night was filled with heartfelt stories & laughs, & it was also an emotional send off to our 2022 Grads, with whom we are so grateful to have made music. Bravo Tutti!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support for your former students @mslutdsb. These grads will be your first gr 7’s of many who have continued on to make music because of your nurture, passion, inspiration & belief in their musical abilities. #grateful
A VERY special #treat tonight from @docleong and #Mowat #musicians . A much needed IN-PERSON #concert. #Congratulations for a wonderful night of #music. Excerpt of the March from Carmen by Bizet 🎵🎶🎻🎻
