By Yujie Zhou, Mission Local February 18, 2022 Not every human being makes it to 100 years old, but the Mission's Community Music Center (CMC) did. And, to ensure another 100, it celebrated Wednesday with an official marking of its expansion into an adjacent Victorian house. "Today, a long-held dream is becoming a reality," said Julie Rulyak Steinberg, executive director of the Community Music Center at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new building next door to its headquarters at 552 Capp St. CMC will begin its second century with more space, which will allow nearly 1,000 new students to study every year. Last year, the music center taught more than 2,800 students. "It's so we all have a space to make music together," Steinberg said at the ceremony. To read the full article, click here.
