On Wednesday, April 25^th at 6:30 PM, the Harmony Program will host a benefit concert and gala in celebration of their 10^th anniversary. The non-profit organization provides children from under-served communities with free instruments, intensive music instruction, orchestral training and access to a variety of cultural experiences in an effort to promote self-confidence, creativity, social development and academic success.

The Harmony Program’s unique model also addresses a shortage of well-trained music teachers by preparing accomplished musicians to teach at partnering public schools and community centers throughout New York City and on Long Island. Each year, the Harmony Program provides over 150,000 hours of intensive music instruction.

The gala will be a culmination of the dedication of the Harmony Program’s students, as they play alongside Grammy-award winning violinist Joshua Bell, Grammy-award nominated producer and cuatrista Jorge Glem, New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill, string trio Time for Three, and soprano Larisa Martínez.

One of the world’s leading music companies, Warner Music Group is the lead sponsor of the gala and has supported the work of Harmony Program in the past, most recently with its inaugural Warner Music Prize, which seeks to foster the talents of promising young musicians. Warner is committed to strengthening the relationship between the two organizations.
