Adventures in Music, the Port Angeles Symphony’s concert and education program for elementary school children across the North Olympic Peninsula, has received a $2,000 donation from US Bank.

With this and other local contributions, Adventures in Music will start a new season in October, bringing live performances to students in Neah Bay, Clallam Bay, Forks, Joyce, Port Angeles, Quilcene, Chimacum and Sequim.

Al Harris, AIM’s director and a musician and educator himself, also provides curricular materials for teachers in all of these schools. This fall and winter and into next spring, AIM’s traveling performers will give a total of 60 performances.
