The Harmony Project is changing lives

Adrian — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:30:38 +0000

serveLA just heard about the Harmony Project and we’re so stoked. What they do is simple and profound. They take at risk youth and teach them how to play classical instruments. This demographic typically has a 50% high school dropout rate. The dropout rate of the kids that complete their program: 0%.

Some of their students recently played at the Hollywood bowl. You’ve got to see what they are about and see how to contribute!

One way is a benefit concert coming up THIS Saturday, the 21st.

When: Saturday, Aug 21st, 7-8:30 pm

Where: Oneota Congregational Church (1515 Garfield ave, 91031)

How much: FREE!

Come a listen to some great solo artists, a jazz trio, and hear some inspiring stories!
