OUR EVENTS

The first Friday of every month, the teens take over Youth Music Project! 

Are you a musician between the ages of 13 and 18? Join us for Teen Open Mic nights! Hosted by our amazing band of interns, open mics are the place to hone your performance skills. Rock out with in-house sound engineering, state-of-the art lighting, and a full back line of instruments. Musicians of all levels are invited to participate!

Don’t have a song to share? Join our supportive audience! Teen Open Mic is free and all ages are welcome to attend.

Doors at 6:15 p.m. | Performances at 6:30 p.m.

Note: Parent/guardian permission and a signed media waver are required for performers under the age of 18.

Each year, we are filled with deep gratitude for everyone who joins us for our Annual Benefit Concert and Auction. This special evening brings our community together in support of music education, raising critical funds that allow us to continue transforming the lives of youth in Clackamas County and beyond through engaging, high-quality programming.

We are continually inspired by the generosity and enthusiasm of our community. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, student performers, families, and volunteers—this event would not be possible without you. Learn more.

At the end of each quarter all students are invited to participate in our live and in-person concerts to share what they’ve learned in our state-of-the-art performance venue, The Meteor Lounge, and experience the power of performance in one of the 20+ concerts held during concert week.

Group class performances will be scheduled in advance. 

Private lesson students wishing to perform will need to sign up for a performance slot at the front desk. 

How to participate:

• Sign-up for a concert slot

• Talk to your instructor about what you will perform in the concert

• Parents can sign-up for a concert time at the front desk (call or in-person)

• Practice, practice, practice… and then practice some more!

• Invite your fans to your performance!

We’re making the community more musical in more ways than one! Youth Music Project offers public workshops throughout the year, ranging from Native Flute Making to Home Recording. Check out our calendar to see what’s up in the queue!
