We continue to closely monitor health and safety updates regarding COVID-19.
While we still hope to host the institute in June, we are considering an alternate date in the Summer, likely in early August. We are working with the Suzuki Association of the Americas, our faculty, our venue, and plan on reaching a final decision by May 1st.
We will continue to post updates as they become available.
Thank you for your understanding, and stay safe.
