Marion Sciré, Founder and Executive Director
Marion brings to Classics 4 Kids an intense passion and innate understanding of what it takes to produce a quality artistic product and solid educational experience for young children.  A transplanted New Yorker with a B.S. in Marketing from Long Island University, Marion owned and operated a business with her husband prior to moving to San Diego.  In 1994, not long after coming to California with her family, Marion founded Classics 4 Kids to enhance the music education program at her daughter’s school. 

In November of 2007 Marion was honored by the San Diego Business Journal with a "Women Who Mean Business" Award for her work with Classics 4 Kids. The first concert for 600 children was financed through home-made chocolate heart-shaped lollipops. Since then Marion has dedicated extraordinary physical and financial resources in order to build Classics 4 Kids from a program that initially served students in a single school to one that attracts nearly 30,000 students from all over San Diego County. 

In addition to her activities with Classics 4 Kids Marion loves to raise and show her Alaskan Malamutes. Contact Marion at mscire@classics4kids.com or 619-231-2311.
