PBS Short Feature on Scrap Arts Music

OUTREACH & COLLABORATION

Our Mission?

Scrap Arts Music is an original, genre-defying performing arts company, driven to fill the void left by traditional percussion. 

With our groundbreaking take on “live percussion” meets “material environmentalism”, we invite audiences to experience our passion for unstoppable responsible invention and share our curious creativity birthed from a whimsical musical world. 

We endeavour to inspire and educate the next generation through innovative performances and multi-faceted outreach.

 

Making Connections with Diverse Groups

In addition to the Mainstage production, Scrap Arts Music artistic director Gregory Kozak leads outreach activities that include master classes, workshops and educational matinees.   

“This was one of the most amazing residencies we've ever had.”

— Lian Frrer, Vice President for Education, State Theatre, New Brunswick, NJ
