Article Contributed by Youth on Record | Published on Tuesday, February 21, 2023

The month of March is a time when the Denver music community comes together to celebrate and affirm that “music matters”

For the fifth year in a row, Youth on Record has assembled an incredible roster of partners to amplify a significant message: Music Matters.

“Youth on Record is an integrated part of the Denver community and we’re always excited to engage local businesses around our creative youth development mission. YOR offers music-centered programs intended to equip young people with the skills needed to advance their academic success, increase their economic opportunities, and strengthen their community connections and networks. This year we served over 1,700 youth in 54 different zip codes across the Greater Denver Area through our for-credit classes, out-of-school programs, fellowship programs, and more. Supporting any of our many Music Matters March partners all over Denver will continue to help our reach expand to include more incredible young people,” said Andrea Viarrial-Murphy, Deputy Director.

We have nearly 40 partners confirmed!
