Making Music is what we do!
Our Mission
Our mission is to reach the urban youth in the Twin Cities to bridge the art access and education gap by providing equitable arts programming through a cultural approach inspired by Historically Black College and University band culture.
Why All City Music?
We provide a unique experience to all students that immerses them in show-style band culture found at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) that is not accessible in Minnesota.
