MMEA Conference


Thank you to Mary Schaefle and the MMEA for putting on an excellent event this past weekend at the Minneapolis Convention Center and Orchestra Hall. It was incredible to meet so many of Minnesota's great music educators and speak with them about the needs and challenges that they are currently facing. Vega Productions left energized and ready to rock our biggest year yet to support music and art education in Minnesota!

Also, a sincere THANKS to Tim Mahoney for stopping by the Vega booth to perform on Friday afternoon and much appreciation to McNally Smith College of Music for providing sound for the performance.

New Year's Eve Donation



Vega Productions and Schmitt Music delivered the donation that resulted from "2010: The Year We Make Contact" featuring Solid Gold, Freddy Fresh, Heatbox, The Histronic and Nicholas Mrozinski. More than 60 instruments were donated to Thomas Edison High School in NE Minneapolis. It was just five short years ago that the school did not even have an instrumental music program, so these instruments will really help Edison Music Director Beth Hulteng continue to build the program. Thank you to everyone who attended the show and made this possible!
