We are thrilled to congratulate Lee PACE Center for Girls on their brand new music room, made possible by a generous donation from the Hardrock HEALS Foundation presented by the Women in Leadership team at Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee. This contribution will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the girls at Lee PACE, providing them with a creative outlet and a space to explore their musical talents. Music has the power to uplift, inspire, and heal, and we are so grateful to the Women in Leadership team for recognizing the importance of music education in the lives of these young girls. The new music room will not only foster a love for music but also provide a safe and supportive environment for the girls to express themselves through song, dance, and performance. We commend Lee PACE Center for Girls for their dedication to empowering young women and providing them with the resources they need to thrive. The addition of this music room is just one example of the incredible work being done at Lee PACE, and we are proud to support their mission. Congratulations to Lee PACE Center for Girls on the opening of their new music room, and a huge thank you to the Women in Leadership team for their generous contribution. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of young women in our community. #HardrockHEALSFoundation #WomeninLeadership #SeminoleGamining #LeePACECenter

Give to musicians this #givingtuesday! Support rising artists. -- In 2023, the US only invested $0.01 per person in music funding. South Korea invested $11.20. The Rising Artist Foundation is filling those funding gaps. Consider donating to them for #givingtuesday2023. Check to see if your employer offers matching gifts to double your donation! We're looking to raise money towards our 2024 initiatives: 1. Our Principal Fellowship — Launching our 2-year program that provides underserved rising artists a stable income, health care and everything they need for a stable career foundation. 2. Career Labs — an educational series in smaller cities around the country and in Puerto Rico that teaches industry basics and fosters creative development in artistic hubs. 3. Tour Support Fund — to offset the growing difficulties of touring: a nationwide fund to impact 50 acts and establish a resource folder for public access. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. Let's change artists' lives. (Photo is 2022 OVERTONES grantees VORA and Neyva collaborating in the studio earlier this year. Your donations help foster opportunities for artists like them.) https://lnkd.in/gc3NwP6d

This note took ten years for me to write. I began the The Philadelphia Jazz Tap Ensemble as a project-based experiment, funded by two small grants and plenty of ideas. Since the beginning, I’ve invested 100% of my time in creating high-quality work that employs the best people and gives the audience the best programming results. One thing I haven’t done well at all is ask for money from our audience members. I have relied on grant organizations, event sales and the occasional corporate sponsorship to fund our work. This is a model that can work through pure muscle and grit, but grants are unreliable and so are the trends and agendas of foundations. Donation drives and the ‘ask’ really come down to what is important to you. I’m reaching out to see if your interest in supporting NEW tap dance works that innovate and inspire NEW audiences is meaningful enough to see these programs into reality: - We have a new residency at the Ryerss Museum in Northeast Philadelphia, through which we will be offering FREE public tap and jazz performances “on the porch” in April and October; - We have partnered with Fringe Arts to present ‘Evenings of Jazz Funk and Fusion,’ starting in April; - The Barnes Foundation has commissioned us to create a new premiere alongside the Mickalene Thomas exhibit; - We are creating a new ‘jazz story’ about Beryl Booker that will premiere at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival this Fall. (Will we win another “Fringie”? That’s our goal!) - We are starting a monthly community jazz jam at Bob and Barbara’s, (see you April 3)! - We have partnered with the Athletic Recreation Center to house our tuition-free tap dance youth program are initiating the first ever Philadelphia Youth Tap Summit at the Center on May 23; - We are creating a documentary to celebrate Germaine Ingram and the 30th anniversary of “Plenty of Good Women Dancers.” Can you help the company - and tap dance - grow today? Your tax-deductible donation of any size can be earmarked to support our artists, our programming or our youth initiatives. You tell me what is important to you, and I will make sure your gift is put to good use. To donate securely online, just navigate to https://lnkd.in/eY2av2kw. Checks can also be mailed to our fiscal sponsor at Philadelphia Dance Projects, c/o Phila Jazz Tap Ensemble, 9 N Preston Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Thank you! (Feel free to share).

A brilliant article.
I’m sensing a theme… 🧐 Alex Ross outlines the pitfalls of engaging conductors as jet-setting celebrities in this compelling piece in The New Yorker. In contrast, he describes the impact Marin Alsop has had by committing to one city, and confirms that she deserves as much stardom as young phenoms. Interestingly, after quoting Mark Swed’s recent piece about Salonen and the SFS board, Ross ends an article about conductors this way: “What we need are administrators and board members who can make intelligent, artistically informed decisions about the possibilities that teem around them. In the realm of the arts, the powerful and the wealthy need to assume the mentality of listeners, aides, facilitators. This, not surprisingly, is hard for them to do.” Nailed it. 🎯 #orchestras #artsmanagement #nonprofits #artsjournalism

Dear friends - 1.5 months are trying to raise money for an all day music and arts festival in September.The event will be free, although we will welcome donations - all the money we collect through our funding will go to paying for the venue, engineer, to the artists participating and allowing anyone irrespective of funds to attend. We have always self funded and all profits from our events go to those participating. Proceeds from our events are never large and we never feel we pay artists enough. This is a common theme for people running small events and artists who spend hours making and working on their art. As Astra Taylor writes in The People's Platform there is a notion that if you make art you do it for the love of it and that somehow means that you don’t mind not being paid properly for what you do. But artist’s need to survive in capitalism too! It always struck me that during covid, everyone wanted to be able to get back out and congregate and hear music again, yet it was the capitalist system that was propped up during that time and musicians and artists were told too retrain. We are not sure that our model of funding for our festival will work, or whether it is the right model. It’s also difficult asking for funds when there are so many needful peoples and groups, and we appreciate that people my not want to support us. Please let me know what you think of our approach. We’d also be really interested to talk with other DIY/self funding promoters on further ideas as to how we can all increase monies for artists and support artists in our communities, much love and peace RFxxx https://lnkd.in/e_YNQvmv https://lnkd.in/eqzJMz4D

Even as the world shifts constantly around us, our history grounds us in deeply rooted values. The below letter was written by The People's Music School's founder, Dr. Rita Simó. We discovered it in a recent excavation of our storage unit. Handwritten in June 1976, mere months after the original school opened in February, the letter highlights values that continue to define us nearly fifty years on: Our #community has always been there for us from far and wide, donating a big new rug here, a French horn there, a shipment of records all the way from Boston. Rita never skimped on #excellence, insisting that our students were constantly practicing and performing, putting on a flute and piano recital just five months after the school's grand opening. Rita’s #creativity shines through as she draws on resourcefulness to build her bold new enterprise. She took every #opportunity to say yes, to draw people in, to be open to whatever may come her way. And how could all of this happen without #hardwork, exemplified in this precise moment by the dirt under our fingernails as we dug through 48 years of history? These values - which we acronymize as #ECCHO - ground us to this day. Whatever evolves or is disrupted, values matter, and we are always guided by them. What are your organization’s guiding values? What are your own? How do they show up in your histories, your current actions? #musiceducation #values #history

TODAY ONLY USE THE CODE FYG2W-GP66M to double your donation! I need $37 dollars to complete this project!!! "My students are very interested in music. We learn all about the beat, rhythm, musical instruments, composers, performance, careers in music and much, much more! I am requesting sand blocks for my youngest students to make percussion scratching sounds, some pool noodles to cut to add to the scratching sounds, copy paper for my lessons, and musical stickers for rewards for a great class period. Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas. The art of practice and perfection from music class allows students to develop skills in other classes, such as math, science, English and more. Many of my students receive special education services and they mean the world to me. I am blessed to teach them hands-on music skills and these tools will help them connect to music in a very special way." Support this classroom here: https://lnkd.in/e-buZ2J5

On a mission to bring music education equality to every child ♥️ Social Entrepreneur, Broadcaster, Founder & CEO at REVEAL Music Radio, Musical Youth Foundation, Dublin City Soul Festival, Soul Kitchen, Positivity Coach
Music education matters, but thousands of children never get the opportunity to learn. Many parents tell me, I can't afford to buy lessons for my own kids so why would I donate to help someone elses children. There are many reasons but here are just two... 1. The kids we aim to help, have little to nothing else to look forward to week to week. Maybe you're right, their parents should pay but if for whatever reason they can't....let's not punish or disadvantage the children. 2. Save the taxpayer millions - Children that engage in music education do better academically, stay in school and more often go on to third level education. The thousands of children that become early school leavers, more often than not end up as long-term social welfare dependent. Can you afford to donate just €20. to help Musical Youth Foundation (CHY#18624) to bring music education to every child in Ireland? Donate now via our REVEAL Music Radio station... https://lnkd.in/d62TaVjn https://lnkd.in/e4SyV2f2
