Blizzard 2016 Postpones PROJECT MUSIC Concert

PROJECT MUSIC’s El Sistema Residency and performance/collaboration with King Low Heywood Thomas on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 7 p.m. has been postponed due to the weather.

Because of the city of Baltimore’s ban on all field trips due to the blizzard, one of the participating groups, the Baltimore Symphony’s OrchKids program, is unable to travel to Connecticut for the planned joint residency with PROJECT MUSIC and BRAVO Waterbury!

PROJECT MUSIC, a non-profit music education program based in Stamford, is an intensive after-school music education program for inner city students. Inspired by the Venezuelan “music education miracle”, El-Sistema, PROJECT MUSIC not only provides musical instruments and training, but also uses music to cultivate fundamental life skills such as self-expression, cooperative learning, discipline, leadership and creativity, all directly linked to improved social and academic outcomes.
