Music Milton launched its very first community program with a truly unforgettable experience for local children. Grammy Award-winning cellist Zuill Bailey visited Crabapple Crossing and Summit Hill Elementary Schools, performing on his 325-year-old cello and sharing stories, lessons, and inspiration with nearly 1,000 students. From demonstrating the power of silence to explaining why “practice makes permanent,” Bailey brought music to life in a way that was engaging, relatable, and memorable for young audiences.

​

Bailey reflected on the importance of connecting with students early: “I believe the future is our young people. We teach the young people how to treat other people, solve problems and navigate humanity.” For many of these children, this was their first time hearing a world-class musician perform live — an opportunity Music Milton was proud to make possible close to home.
 

This intimate program was just the beginning of Music Milton’s mission to bring world-class performances and meaningful educational opportunities to the community. As Bailey himself shared, “To start this young, with this kind of classic music, with this special series, is going to be a very special gift to this community. And to be here at the very beginning is quite an honor.”
 

With events like these, Music Milton is building a foundation for the future — sparking curiosity, inspiring creativity, and proving that music has the power to connect us all.
