Help keep us United in Song!

Dear Friends,

As winter deepens to its darkest days and many of us feel great concern about the political climate of our country, music reveals its essential role in our lives. Through music, we affirm our most cherished values: a community that is not divided by age, ability, race, gender, culture or economic status. In these trying times, the simple joy of making music together holds the power to heal our souls individually and to unite us in song.

East Bay Community Music Project builds community through fun and engaging music-making experiences for all people. From our Sunday Gatherings, Seasonal Festivals, and Ensemble Connection events to Morning Sing in Berkeley elementary schools, we serve our local community through music. In addition, we are honored to facilitate parent-child engagement through music at Prescott-Joseph Pre-Preschool in West Oakland.

 

The small and dedicated Music Project team works hard—primarily on a volunteer basis—and we make all our programs accessible and free-of-charge. But space, insurance, instruments and more all cost money and generous supporters such as you are what allow the Project to thrive.

We need your help to keep us United in Song! Would you consider a tax-deductible gift today? Click here to visit the donation page on our website.

Whatever you are able to contribute will have a real and immediate impact on the lives of Music Project participants, be they children, seniors, teens, or parents.  You can donate by check to the mailing address below or on our website through paypal.  Your support of East Bay Community Music Project gives the gift of music to all at a time when our world needs it most.

Sincerely,

Ryk Groetchen, Director
