Galumpha Comes To Ithaca!

This year, IPEI is proud to once again sponsor Galumpha at the State Theatre, the live acrobatic trio that seeks to spark your imagination with their amazing visual effects, physical comedy, and choreography.

Galumpha will perform at the State Theatre tomorrow, February 15th, at 3:00 p.m. IPEI has partnered with the State Theatre to distribute free tickets to children under 12 who are accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. Tickets are available at the State Theatre Box Office at 107 W State St., or by calling 607.277.8283.

IPEI, with assistance from the Fine Arts Booster Group (FABG), works to connect community resources to the Ithaca City School District (ICSD).  The State Theatre’s mission is to enhance the cultural life of Ithaca and the Finger Lakes by preserving, operating and promoting the historic theatre as an active venue for national, international and community performances and programming.

Fine Arts Booster Group Awards 6 Scholarships

The Fine Arts Booster Group, an affiliate of IPEI, awarded six scholarships through the Rella and Barney Cohn Music Scholarship Fund. This fund was established by Abby Cohn in memory of her parents, and both honors and continues the excellent music education provided to the students of the Ithaca City School District.

Michael W. Allen, Director of the Ithaca Youth Bureau Summer Music Program, expressed his gratitude to Ms. Cohn, adding that "these scholarships...allow students who might not otherwise be able to participate in the Summer Bands at Cornell University's Lincoln Hall the opportunity to be part of this special program."
