Grace Weber's Music Lab

Free monthly music & arts program for high school students

Grace Weber Music Lab's fall 2020 season

Grace Weber’s Music Lab, a free music and arts education program for Milwaukee-area high school students, is set to begin a brand new season of youth-driven sessions this fall. While continuing with its established virtual format, the livestreamed sessions will welcome an audience of young singers, rappers, poets, producers, musicians or anyone with an interest in music. Each month, students can hear live performances and interviews from a variety of top national and local artists. Attendees will also have opportunities to:

Perform virtually at the open mic
Connect and create with other young creatives
Ask live questions and learn about the diverse fields and occupations in the music industry
Enter monthly equipment giveaways

Special guest artists who will serve as mentors and performers for the fall 2020 season are:

Sept. 25: Lili K., Chicago-based jazz/soul singer-songwriter (Milwaukee-native)
Oct. 30: Alex Isley, R&B singer-songwriter, producer, recording artist
Nov. 20: Chris Classick, mixing/mastering engineer, owner of Classick Studios in Chicago

Sessions will continue to be streamed live on the Grace Weber’s Music Lab Facebook page (facebook.com/gwmusiclab), from 5 to 7 p.m. Programming will include feature performances and demos by guest artists, followed by an interview, live Q&A from students, and teen open mics with guest feedback.

In partnership with IK Multimedia, every Music Lab for the remainder of 2020 will also feature a special giveaway of the iRig Voice Handheld Microphone. Each month, one student will win this piece of equipment that turns their smartphone or tablet into a portable vocal studio. Additional giveaways will feature more Music Lab apparel and hooded sweatshirts from Four The City.
