Levitt AMP Utica Music Series

If you loved our stage background last year, you can see it again on Genesee Street in Downtown Utica in the windows of the Stanley Center for the Arts. Upstate Cerebral Palsy's Pieces of HeART artists created the piece for us for last summer and it provided a colorful, energetic backdrop for 20 different bands that graced our stage throughout the season. The artists are pictured here saying hello to the audience right before the Brandon "Taz" Neiderauer concert!

Congratulations to our longtime partner The Community Foundation for being named one of the best places to work! We know we love working with them on our music series!

Definitely need this little guy at the park next summer!

Have you been to Kopernik Park lately?! The bollards around the perimeter of the park have become a thoughtful art installation that celebrates many countries where Uticans have come from. Learn more about this unique project and talk a walk to the park to see it for yourself. https://youtu.be/I_lOKDS6S54

We miss you at the park, Rod!!!

Wow, ya'll.... take a listen to this young lady! She's studying at SUNY Purchase - maybe we can persuade her to take to short trip upstate to join us at Kopernik Park next summer :) Hmmmm

Levitt AMP Utica coordinator Michelle Truett was on Broadway Utica's "Back Stage Podcast" today with Exec. Director Danielle Padulla to talk about the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (a great partner of ours) and Levitt AMP Utica's "Levitteen" Internship Program, our youth intermission acts and more! Thank you to our friends at Disruption Network! YEA Mohawk Valley Community College

Did you know that our series has an internship program for local high school and college students studying or working in creative fields? Check out this video to learn more about how they work with us all summer. Interested in being considered for our 2021 series?

We’re excited to tune in tonight to support our good friends in Stevens Point, Wisconsin as they present hip hop artist NUR-D in the Levitt Foundation’s Virtual Music Series!

We need her to join us on Eagle Street next summer! Amandalynn Angle Upstate Hoopz

We hope you enjoyed the talented singer Ashlee Zayas Colon in AMP the House! Here she is at her second performance on the popular TV show Tengo Talento Mucho Talento (it's like the Mexican version of America's Got Talent!)

Get to know Leeky XIV! He appeared with Eric Armitage in AMP the House and this new interview gives a bit of insight into his creative process and personality. We love this guy... give him a follow and a like on social. https://www.youtube.com/watch

Shamarr Allen started a guns-for-trumpets exchange in New Orleans, hoping to inspire at-risk youth to redirect their paths. "What saved me and redirected my path was a trumpet, the music, and culture of the city that it connected me with," he wrote. "It showed me that success, connections, and differences can be managed through self-expression."
