A message from Branch Director Kathleen Krull!

Dear Willow Grove Families,

I want to welcome you back to the 2023-24 Core Season! We have had a great summer of music-making and we cannot wait to greet you all at our beautiful Branch to start off the new year! From amazing opportunities for performances to new events and programs at the Branch and beyond, we are excited to be a part of your artistic experience. We can’t wait to share with you the exciting events to come!

Alison Erwin, our Branch Coordinator and I welcome you to stop in our offices to say hello and never hesitate to ask questions. We hope that our Branch and Settlement feels like a second home to you. With our amazing faculty, staff, students and families, we have quite a community gem in Willow Grove. We also welcome any ideas for more places for Settlement to be seen and heard in the community at special events, festivals, fairs or organizations.

Whether you are an adult pursuing a lifelong dream of playing an instrument or a caregiver of a 5 year old ukulele student, your musical and artistic goals are important to us and we are excited to have you as part of our Settlement community.

Wishing you the best in the season ahead,

Kathleen Krull, Willow Grove Branch Director
