People of Note (PON) is a non-profit organization founded in 2002
whose mission is to provide quality concerts and other events to the community with
proceeds going to the support of children's music education.
Beginning as a fund-raising arm of Music for Minors,
People of Note began producing children's concerts
and educational workshops over 20 years ago.
This year's proceeds are to be donated to Music for
Minors, whose goal is to nurture in children a lifelong
love of music.
