Through the permanent residency of the Haven String Quartet, Music Haven provides world-class performances and free after school education programs that build long-term relationships between professional musicians, children, and families in four high-poverty Empowerment Zone neighborhoods of New Haven, CT.
The Haven String Quartet performs in public spaces in New Haven, school workshops across the state, and concert halls across the world, but the majority of the quartet’s activities focuses on youth development and education in the Newhallville, Dixwell, Dwight, and Hill neighborhoods of New Haven.
All after-school programs, including string instruments, are completely tuition-free and are open to youth who reside or attend school in the Dixwell, Hill, Dwight, or Newhallville neighborhoods of New Haven. Each child is selected on a first-come, first-serve basis.
