SMART Orchestra

Playing in an orchestra is more dangerous than you think!

Nine years and counting! 🎶💙

Tonight, our Executive Director had the privilege of presenting to the San Marcos Arts Commission alongside our amazing SMART Orchestra Treasurer, Terri Hartley, as he made our case for grant funding for another season of music in our community.

This marks Jeremy's ninth year in a row standing before the Arts Commission on behalf of SMART Orchestra — something we're incredibly proud of. Every year, we get another opportunity to share our story, talk about the impact of our musicians and programs, and advocate for the support that helps us keep bringing free orchestral music to San Marcos.

And we're especially grateful to have Terri by his side tonight. Nine years later, we’re still showing up, still growing, and still making music happen. ❤️🎻

Here’s to Season 18 and everything ahead! ✨
