TOGETHER WE STAND
As an organization dedicated to bringing our community together through music and educating our youth, we will not remain silent while communities across the United States are being torn apart. Many organizations in the performing arts and working with youth, especially non-profits that require donor and philanthropic support, do not comment on current events or anything that can be deemed political or offensive.
We believe that the care of our residents and the protection of our youth and families are not political issues but human ones. What's happening in America right now is a public response to the murder and oppression of Black people. It is a call to dismantle white supremacy. One of our greatest expressions of humanity, unity, and collaboration is music. Music is rich and full of Black art, Black voices, Black talent and Black culture.
We will continue to plan during this time of uncertainty, social unrest, and pandemic to create programs for our multicultural communities that honor the voices of our local heritage, wide-ranging styles of music, and the contributions of Black America. We believe that music and education are powerful forces for social change and that all of us together can move toward a more just society.
