If you're already doing this work, you likely qualify.
The Opus Network was designed with a specific program in mind: grassroots, community-rooted, and using music to reach young people who would otherwise have little or no access to it. If that describes your work, the Opus Network was built for you.
You are running an active music program
Your program is up and running — with students, teachers, and a community that shows up for it. You have a track record, even if you are still building.
Music is a means, not just an end
Your program is invested in what music makes possible for young people and their communities — not only in artistic excellence, but in the doors it opens and the futures it shapes.
You are actively working to widen access
Your program is intentionally reaching young people for whom quality music education would otherwise be out of reach — and you are building something that lasts in your community.
Membership is a two-way relationship
Members share periodic updates through a simple online form. Your stories, numbers, and milestones help In Concert report to the field and tell the world about the work happening in your community.
