P.S. 98 has enjoyed a long standing partnership with Midori and Friends arts organization.  Our students are provided with a diverse array of concerts that introduce them to western classical music, as well as cultures from around the world through interactive performances and complementary workshops with artists.  The program goals include developing student knowledge and appreciation of music, dance, and world cultures.  Our students have exhibited enthusiasm for and engagement with performing activities.

We are delighted that Midori and Friends will be partnering with P. S. 98Q during the 2021-2022 school year.  Midori and Friends has been selected to bring high quality music education to our school community.  This is part of the CASA program of the DCLA and the NYC Council.
