The Grammy Museum Project Showcase
The Marcia Hoffman School of the Arts at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater celebrated the fifth anniversary of its affiliation with
the Grammy Museum’s Music Revolution Project with an onstage performance by this year’s students. Fifteen talented young
people were chosen by auditions to be part of this four-week program at the hall to work with each other and the program’s
instructors to compose new music, lyrics and orchestrations. These young musicians performed like old pros at the concert.
Ruth Eckerd Hall is the only affiliated location in North America with a continuous school.
