Our Mission
Up Street Music Patrons (USMP) organizes, funds, & makes music accessible to everyone in Sonoma County, regardless of financial means. Through scholarships, funding for performances and productions, & inclusive, hands-on programming, we remove financial barriers so that individuals of all ages can learn, perform, & take part in music. We recognize that music education naturally connects to & collaborates with the broader arts community, & we welcome those partnerships in service of our mission.
