We’d like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support for our instrument drive, which helped replenish over 300 instruments lost by students in the Eaton Fires. Your donations helped our students get back to playing music. Thank you – your support is truly inspiring!

“We had so many stories from people who donated their instruments because they wanted to help, to offer their precious instruments that they had since they were 10 to someone who could use them in their time of need,” Alex told me. “One gentleman came in to donate his violin that he had played while he served in the Vietnam War and opened up the case to show us the original certificate of the violin with a picture from a newspaper clipping of him playing it while serving in the war. He had said he hadn’t touched the violin in 10 years and wanted it to go to someone who’d love it and walked away.”
