The South Georgia Strong project is a program that teaches participants more than how to play a string instrument. It teaches about being a part of a community of musicians, supporting each other, as well as working and performing together to become better musicians. Participants have the opportunity to learn from seasoned musicians, college students studying music, and each other in this pursuit. They also learn how to appreciate and become patrons of the arts. I am so thrilled that my daughter has had the opportunity to be a part of this phenomenal program.

The University of South Carolina String Project, now in its 44thyear, has won national recognition, including the Verner Award and a documentary on South Carolina ETV celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program. When the University of South Carolina String Project was founded in 1974 there was just one small string program in the Columbia metropolitan area. Now all five school districts in the Columbia area have large and active string programs, with orchestras in every high school and six regional youth orchestras.
