MacPhail opening set for Jan. 12



MacPhail Center for Music will have a grand opening of its new site in downtown Chanhassen from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 12.

The facility is located at 470 78th Street W.

Throughout the day visitors can tour the new facility, take sample lessons, try out a favorite instrument, and stay for the live music and treats.

A ribbon cutting ceremony with Chanhassen Mayor Tom Furlong is planned at 1 p.m.

MacPhail, a nonprofit based out of its downtown Minneapolis facility, provides instruction in more than 35 instruments and a variety of musical styles including jazz, classical, pop, rock, hip hop and world music.

MacPhail offers Suzuki Talent Education and Early Childhood Music (ECM) programs, and also has developed a music therapy department to offer music education and therapy opportunities to individuals with physical and developmental disabilities.

MacPhail opened satellite locations in Apple Valley and White Bear Lake in 2005 and 2006 and has been looking to expand to the southwest suburbs.
