Every year, we ask our YPC students to write a brief essay or draw a poster that answers the question: What Does Music Mean to You?
And every year, we get so many wonderful expressions of their thoughts and feelings, through the written word, or, their drawings.
We select 3 posters and 3 essays to showcase at the concert, at the New Britain Public Library, and here, on our website.
AND, we select a 4th poster to be next year’s concert program cover.
We are delighted to inform you of this year’s winners:

I love how music is so important to me because it encourages me to do my very best and encourages me to learn new things.
Gabrial C., Jefferson School, New Britain
I can’t imagine my life without music. Music connects to the world and people around us. A world without music is unimaginable.
Camden N., Willard School, Berlin
I hope that whenever anybody gets a chance to, they will add music to their lives, because it just makes us feel better all of the time.
