Additional information
Our mission is to provide the highest level of musical training and wide-ranging performance opportunities to young people ages 4-high school, inspiring personal development, celebrating diversity, and fostering goodwill. Our vision is to transform the lives of inner-city young people one voice at a time, developing each heart to live with compassion in a world of differences. With a focus on inclusion, access, and social justice, we are known for our family atmosphere where diversity of all kinds is acknowledged and welcomed. Ours is a special community where “love is born, peace is kept, and magic is real.” As a nonprofit organization, we served nearly 500 children ages 4-18 in 15 programs throughout the metro-Boston pre-pandemic in our Cambridge, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain locations. We seek to rebuild our membership to that level in 2-4 years. Our programs are gateways to life-changing experiences.
