After serving the community as the Everett
Symphony for 85 years, the organization changed its tune and became the Snohomish
County Music Project in 2010. Those
involved in the transformation envisioned the organization as an ideal way to
promote the idea of artistic citizenship – using the power of music to inspire
people to make a positive change in the world. With a mission
“to use the power of music to inspire people
to do good things for their communities and for themselves” and a
philosophy that emphasizes the importance of harnessing the utility of musical
expression, the Music Project’s vision of artistic citizenship holds the
promise of supporting our community through the arts in innovative ways.
