Join Ethos Music Center for our second annual Community Night Out at McMenamins Chapel Pub — an evening of great food, local community, and meaningful impact! Gather with friends, family, and fellow supporters for a fun and welcoming night out while giving back to music education opportunities for youth across Portland and beyond.

Thanks to the generous partnership of the wonderful folks at McMenamins, 50% of the evening’s profits will be donated directly to Ethos in support of accessible, culturally responsive music programming for young people in our community. Whether you stop by for dinner, drinks, dessert, or simply to connect with others who care about the arts, every purchase helps make music education more accessible for the next generation.

Come raise a glass, share a meal, and celebrate the power of community coming together in support of youth, creativity, and music!

Celebrate the season with Ethos Music Center Spring Recitals; a joyful showcase of the talent, dedication, and growth of our students in one-on-one instruction with our exceptional teaching staff.

These performances highlights both beginnings and milestones: students stepping onto the stage for the very first time to share the songs they’ve just learned, alongside more seasoned musicians demonstrating the depth of their practice, persistence, and artistry. Each performance reflects weeks and months of focus, encouragement, and creative exploration.

More than just a recital, this is a celebration of what community makes possible. Every note played represents hours of teaching, planning, practice, and support. A reminder that learning music truly takes a village.

Join us in honoring their hard work and sharing in the powerful moment when students take the stage and turn practice into performance, and effort into expression.
