Why We Moved from Auburn to Worcester in 2018

The School’s move into Worcester responds to long-term strategic needs, along with changes underway at our prior Auburn location.  We’re excited to link more closely with Worcester’s cultural community, to be able to position ourselves for future growth, and to build on pre-existing partnerships with All Saints Church and The Hanover Theater.

If you would like more information about the School’s move and associated strategic planning, please e-mail Executive Director Sarah Smongeski at Sarah@pakmusic.org.
