Local Church opens new
School of Fine Arts in Boulder
Now Offering Courses, Special Events, and Summer Stage Music Theater
The Off Broadway School of Fine Arts (SoFA) in Boulder was founded by the Pine Street Church as part of its mission to promote excellence in, and access to, non-religiously affiliated Arts training within the local community. After hiring a new director last fall, SoFA is now offering private music instruction as well as new courses for kids and adults and a commitment to making quality arts education available to all.
Through collaborative efforts in the local, national, and even international artistic communities, the Off Broadway School of Fine Arts is quickly establishing itself as a hub for music education and performance of the highest caliber in Boulder. This Spring, SoFA hosted a German Song Intensive with pianist Sibylle Höhnk of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music and a music education workshop with Dr. Sylvia Munsen of Utah State University. Beginning Fall of 2013, the Off Broadway School of Fine Arts will offer expanded opportunities for private music instruction in voice, piano, and guitar in addition to community theatre classes and productions. For more information visit offbroadwayfinearts.org.
The Off Broadway School of Fine Arts has also begun a collaboration with Clementine Studio, an educational partner of OpenArts. Clementine - an art studio for children - is now housed in the Pine Street Church at 1237 Pine St. in downtown Boulder.
