Our music helps celebrate youth, culture & community-building. We especially love to put our youth in concert with local musicians of color. Paid performances are an earned-income strategy for the non-profit; all proceeds go into our scholarship fund. Donated performances may be provided for events that align with our mission if performance honorariums are unavailable.
