Rimon’s New Complex
Rimon believes strongly that music is a collective experience that should be made available for all to enjoy. Rimon is also committed to constant self-study to improve its infrastructure and programming. Continuing to fulfill Rimon’s mission means that the next stage of growth involves erecting a new multipurpose building to benefit students, the professional sector, and the public. This space will be the first of its kind in Israel to serve as a center for not only enrichment programs but for professional development via workshops, conferences, and symposium events for practitioners and program leaders across a multitude of educational, clinical, and service organizations. As an added benefit, the space will also create more general purpose/mixed function classrooms for Rimon students, and give our students the opportunity to share various experiences with participants, and bring a wider visibility to Rimon overall. This facility will be strategically situated in the center of the Main Campus of Rimon School of Music in Ramat HaSharon. The space is positioned to become a hub of creativity and collaboration between Rimon students, faculty, and youth and adults the space will serve. This interdisciplinary facility will become a magnet for audiences, betterment programs, educators, and professionals; bringing visibility to Rimon and across-the-aisle dialog.
