The Music Hall is a not-for-profit community arts organization, founded to provide a performance venue for the community and support for performing artists. It is run wholly by volunteers since its inception more than 40 years ago. Volunteers can earn admission to shows through various tasks— from running the sound board to making popcorn. SUNY student interns help run shows and public school students can earn credit for community service. Find more information online at http:// oswegomusichall.org/ or email: OCPAoswego@gmail.com.
Music Hall events are made possible in part with funding by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
