Music Discovery Center

Making Music a Bigger Part of Life in Kitsap!

Music Discovery Center is a nonprofit organization bringing music opportunities to youth and young adults through mentorship, education, and performance. We are inspired by Quincy Jones, the great American record producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and composer who discovered music as a young boy growing up in Bremerton. Today, it’s widely known that music is essential for social and emotional well-being and is a critical tool for establishing equity and access. Our aim for Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula is to enhance music experiences where they already exist and bring music to places where it doesn’t yet exist.
