This event is generously sponsored by Music Go Round... Reuse, Recycle, Rock! www.MusicGoRoundBoston.com
Phil Chernin, owner of Music Go Round and a Baker School parent, jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the Spree because it showcases the importance of sustainability, which is a hallmark of Music Go Round’s low-carbon footprint business.

Music Go Round’s vision is to: 

• Keep instruments alive – buying, refurbishing and recycling instruments to families trying new instruments as well as to professional musicians.
  
• Keep money in the community – Music Go Round keeps money within the community by paying families for their instruments then finding the instruments new homes. Keep more money in your pocket – giving you the ability to own top-quality instruments at a fraction of their original cost AND be able to trade in or trade up later.
