Viva Suzuki 2024
Changing children’s lives through music.
This concert is a tribute to Dr. Shinichi Suzuki and his timeless vision of changing children’s lives through music. Every year our school, the National Capital Suzuki School of Music, gathers to celebrate the school year with our final end of year celebration, Viva Suzuki.
This year admission to the concert is pay what you can donation at the door with proceeds going towards teacher education and special school programming.
New this year we are happy to present a special Silent Auction in support of teacher education and school programming. We thank all of our generous supporters who have donated items for the auction.
We will have a table set up at the venue for making your bids before and after Viva Suzuki. Bidding will then remain open online for one week after Viva Suzuki with the bid winners being announced on Saturday May 18th.
After Viva Suzuki is complete on Saturday May 11th, bidding will move online at 4 PM Saturday May 11th. Opening bids online will reflect the final bids during the in person bidding.
The Online Silent Auction link is www.32auctions.com/vivasuzuki2024.
