St. Francis Music Academy (SFMA) invites the public to their Open House on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi, 3545 Cahaba Valley Road.

The Open House schedule includes meeting SFMA faculty and students, attending mini-classes and a short performance, and learning more about the Academy programs at a Q&A session. 

Featuring a world-class faculty, including members of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and other professional musicians who have distinguished themselves as performing artists around the globe, the Academy is open to students of all ages and offers music instruction in piano, voice, violin, viola, cello, flute, guitar and harp, as well as chamber music, choral instruction, music theory and musicianship.
