Hello! From MLC Branch Director, Jessica McGrath

A Message from our new Mary Louise Curtis Branch Director

Dear Mary Louise Curtis Families,

It is truly an honor to step into this role at this historic organization. I look forward to meeting you at our many performances, events, and also in the hallways of Mary Louise Curtis as you come for lessons and rehearsals. I would love to hear your many Settlement stories about learning music and performing as I become acquainted with this great community.

Please feel free to contact me with your questions about your Settlement experience and any feedback that you may have. The Mary Louise Curtis staff and I are dedicated to you, our families, and are always working to give you the best arts experience possible.
