ABOUT

About Medley Arts Center

    One of my favorite venues I’ve ever played, didn’t know anything about it going in. But was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is really nice and the stage Is perfectly compact and yet spacey at the same time. If I ever got the opportunity, I’d def come back again!

    Beautiful vintage space with modern tech & sound. Perfect for musicians, theatre artists, and more! Surprisingly large space and stage that still feels intimate in an amazingly convenient location in Bryn Mawr. Perfect for events, live shows, rehearsals, lessons, and more. For lessons, Jake Leschinsky is a gifted music teacher with the ability to connect and inspire! So lucky to have Jake and Medley Arts on the Main Line!

    My son recently started taking piano lessons with Jake at Medley and I’ve been super impressed! It’s a beautiful space with lots of character, and Jake is a true musician with plenty of passion for his craft and music education that comes through in his lessons beyond just building basic skills. He’s really upbeat and encouraging and has made the music lesson experience incredibly fun and empowering for my 9-year-old! Highly recommend.
