HARMONY BRIDGE CLUB

Posted on Dec 10, 2016

Band students from Edina's Valley View Middle School gathered at Barnes and Noble on Saturday, December 10th to entertain shoppers. The students, under the direction of Ms. Melody Snyder and Mr. Chris Gumz, participate in Harmony Bridge Club where they meet after school each week.

Harmony Bridge is a project created by Michael Levine and is proudly supported by the Edina Morningside Rotary Club. Mr. Levine is the founder and director of the Dallas Brass, one of America's foremost music ensembles. One of Michael's latest projects is Harmony Bridge, which brings student musicians of all ages to senior communities to perform for and interact residents living in senior communities.

Harmony Bridge bridges generations, brings joy and love to the elderly and others in need. It provides an opportunity for middle school and high school students experience being of service using skills they are leaning in school. It also significantly contributes to improving students’ musicianship, the enjoyment of making music, and a lifelong appreciation for music and the arts.

The students will continue playing for seniors in our community in January 2017.
