Everett Public Schools (EPS) music educators and their students are tuning up for the district’s annual String Night performances, a two-night extravaganza featuring more than 470 musicians in grades K-12.
This year’s show is called “Heroes and Villains: An Adventure Around the Globe.” Students in grades K-3 will take the stage on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, while 4-12 graders will perform on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Both shows begin at 6 p.m. in the Everett High School Center for the Performing Arts.
