Brad Schoener was an amazing musician and inspirational music teacher for thousands of students in the Upper Darby School District. The Schoener Music Festival grew out of an idea of Brad’s to create an event that was a celebration of music of all kinds with professionals and students sharing music together. Brad was excited about the idea and so are his family and hundreds of students and alumni, colleagues and friends. Brad lost a five-year battle with cancer in March 2009 but will never be forgotten by the hundreds of students and audience members whose lives he enriched.
The Brad Schoener Music Fund was established to provide assistance to promising young musicians by providing support for music lessons and other educational opportunities. The Fund is supervised by the Upper Darby Arts and Education Foundation, a private, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization. For further information about the Foundation please call John Schmidt at 610-394-1580 or visit udfoundation.org.
