Congratulations to Esther Bonney, a member of our very own CCYO, for her remarkable achievement in winning the Cosmic Symphony Young Artist Competition, Junior Division. It's truly an honor for her to be selected as a soloist for the upcoming Cosmic Symphony concerts. Her talent and dedication have been recognized, and it's well-deserved. The performances at the Dodge Performing Arts Center and Southern High School are sure to be memorable occasions, and Esther's violin solo will undoubtedly be a highlight. Additionally, receiving a cash prize is a testament to her hard work and skill. This is a significant milestone in her musical journey, and I'm sure she will continue to excel in her future endeavors.

The mission of the Charles County Arts Alliance (CCAA) is to stimulate, promote, encourage, and provide recognition of the arts and the creative spirit. Founded in 1987, the CCAA promotes ALL the arts in Charles County: music, visual art, drama, dance and literature.
The CCAA is the official arts council of Charles County and is recognized as such by the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC), an agency of the Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED) of the State of Maryland. In this capacity, the CCAA serves as the "umbrella" organization for the arts community in Charles County. The CCAA promotes Charles County arts organizations and individuals, provides financial support to nonprofit organizations and the schools through its annual arts grant programs, sponsors the creation and presentation of new, diverse cultural activities and special events for the community, provides arts scholarships, and ensures the Charles County's under-served population, people with disabilities, residents with limited income, minorities, and senior citizens have access to the arts. The CCAA builds partnerships with local government, the business community and the educational community, in an effort to enhance the overall quality of life for the citizens of Charles County.
