For many people, music is something necessary to be happy and a way to express emotions. Therefore, a very interesting question for musicians belonging to the Symphonic bands and jazz, it’s ‘what is music for you?’ Miriam Soto, 19, a student at Valencia College, Music Education, said: “For me, music has been a part of my life for years and years since I was a child, now that I study it more and I am trying to enter a career based on teaching and performance, it means the world to me.

It’s music. Music is about expressing and feeling the emotion that the melody you hear can cause, and for many that means everything. Be sure to visit the mall on October 27 at the Valencia East Campus at 11:30 a.m. to tap into your emotions at the Halloween Symphony and Jazz Concert.
