In this episode, Margy speaks with Jana Leslie, the Executive Director of Stillwater Music, and Lech Usinowicz, the former Executive Director of the Be Frank Foundation. We are delighted to officially announce that Lech will be joining the Stillwater Music family as our new Orchestra Department Chair.

A Harmonious Union

This feature highlights the landmark consolidation of two of our community’s most well-known music non-profits: Stillwater Music and the Be Frank Foundation. For years, both organizations have worked to foster a love of music and provide exceptional education to students in the Four Corners region. By joining forces, we are amplifying our mission. The consolidation will allow us to expand our reach and impact, bringing high-quality, accessible music education to even more students across Southwest Colorado.

This is more than a merger; it’s a powerful collaboration built on a shared vision. We believe that by combining our resources, expertise, and passion, we can create an even more vibrant and supportive musical ecosystem for our community’s youth.

What This Means For You

For our students, parents, and supporters, this means more opportunities and a stronger foundation for musical growth. The organization will continue to provide all the programs you know and love, including:

• • Private Lessons for all ages
  • Group Instructions 
  • Instrument Rentals
  • Orchestral Classes
  • Inclusive classes for individuals with disabilities
  • Summer Music Programs
  • Music programs for all ages & abilites! 

Our commitment to providing a comprehensive and nurturing music education is stronger than ever. With Lech Usinowicz leading our expanded orchestra department, we are poised to elevate our string programs and create incredible new ensemble experiences.
