Performing arts center Musical Beginnings is about to get a new beginning of its own.
The center renamed itself to The Vancouver Music Academy and will host a “grand-reopening” from 2 to 5 p.m. Jan. 15 at its new space at 5500 N.E. 109th Court, Suite A.
The event will include food, performances and a meet-and-greet with instructors. Mayor Tim Leavitt will cut a ceremonial ribbon.
The new, larger location will afford more classrooms and expanded courses, with new classes in songwriting and an expanded art curriculum, the center said in a statement.
