Showcasing the talents of music students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is an opportunity to focus on the talents, dedication, and commitment of young people who participate in choral and instrumental ensembles.
A Musical Showcase Competition Celebrating Excellence is a first of its kind event for the greater Charlotte community. Made possible by a challenge grant from The Leon Levine Foundation and presented by Charlotte Concerts, this inaugural event honors Dale Polsky, who was the first Vice President of Education for Charlotte Concerts. She initiated music education initiatives that were the foundation of Charlotte Concerts’ all-encompassing music education programs.
