North Port Performing Arts Association

The North Port Performing Arts Association (NPPAA) was formed in 2001 when the three existing performing arts groups came together to work as a single unit to present a series of concerts by each of the performing arts groups each season. The groups occupy the rehearsal facility that was built by the city of North Port. The building, known as the Music Suite or Rehearsal Hall, is adjacent to the North Port Performing Arts Center and was built for the exclusive use of non-profit groups, which include the North Port Chorale, founded in 1980; the North Port Symphony, founded in 1983; and the North Port Concert Band, founded in 1986.
