Two New York City institutions and neighbors – Veniero’s Bakery and Third Street Music School Settlement – celebrated their 120th anniversaries with caroling by Third Street students and free cookies created especially for the historic milestone by Veniero’s.
Time Out New York, Metro, DNAinfo, EV Grieve, Bedford + Bowery, and Untapped Cities were among the outlets covering the festivities.
Founded in 1894, Third Street Music School Settlement is the nation’s oldest community music school. Instrumental in helping to establish community arts education in the United States, it has been changing lives and its community by providing access to world-class music and dance instruction to students of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of ability or economic circumstances. Today its East Village location and in-school programs serve nearly 5,000 students, with more than 75 percent benefiting from need-based financial aid, merit-based scholarships, and free or low-cost instruction.
