“PLAY IT FORWARD”

String Ensemble Players

Written by Carol Jeanne Henderson

 

This is the Second Annual Spring Concert by the students of the Play It Forward program!

We are proud to present to you these young string players who are benefiting from the use of instruments on loan from The Becker Family Foundation.

We are especially proud of the way that these young folks have contributed their talents during this challenging time of unprecedented circumstances.

We are looking forward to a time when we will play, sing, rehearse, practice, and perform together---in our homes, in our towns, in our cities, around our country-sides, on the streets, in our churches and on stages, both here in the United States and around the world.

PLAY IT FORWARD is there to support teachers, students, and parents, by allowing the students the use of quality stringed instruments while learning to play and to experience the joy of music.


Please support the musicians of tomorrow by supporting this vision of The Becker Family Foundation by PLAYING IT FORWARD for the future of music.
