The soul of PHOA is music

Most of a student's musical education is playing classical works, but Palacios House of Arts has taken the courageous leap to let students create their own musical pieces. Getting our students to not only perform—but to create—is one of our bold  goals displayed through Ida. To compose in a group is to achieve personally the greatest harmony and  unity as a team. The impact of Hurricane Ida inspires this musical piece, describing the natural disaster and taking listeners through the myriad of emotions that our little artists felt during the historic event. 

Ida is the gift from PHOA’s younger generation of musicians to the community. It is our commitment to continue forming better citizens through arts. This piece is the student's gift to the community and a challenge to other aspiring little artists.
