Please take a moment to read the following letter from two loyal friends and advocates of our children's music education, Dorothy Savitch, Director of Music Partners, Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music (BQCM), and Sarah Ferholt, Coordinator of PS 29's popular BQCM Band Program.
--
Dear P.S. 29 Families,
We’d like to invite you to a very special concert on Saturday, November 1st at 4 PM, at the Belorussian Church at Atlantic Avenue and Bond Street! Our very own Music Partners Band teachers are putting on a benefit concert for one of P.S. 29's sister schools, PS 89 in East New York, to raise funds to keep their music program alive and well. P.S. 89 has a band program very much like P.S. 29's – but they’ve encountered such extreme financial difficulties that they are facing the possibility of having to terminate their long-standing commitment to music education in their school.
The Brooklyn Conservatory and P.S. 89 are working together to raise money to keep this music program running through the end of the current school year and beyond. Can you help our sister school to provide music classes for its children? We know what a difference these classes make to our own students, and so we understand how important it is that all NYC schoolchildren have arts education!
Here’s how you can help:
Come to our concert on Saturday, November 1st at the Belorussian Church at Atlantic Avenue and Bond Street
Donations can be made by check (mailed) or by credit card via PAYPAL button PSBandBenefit.org, or in person at the concert.
Thank you for all your support!
