The Manilow Music Project has conducted music instrument drives all over the country to assist local schools with their music programs. “I’m thrilled to once again bring the gift of music to these kids,” added Manilow. The Public Can Trade a New or Gently Used Musical Instrument for Free Tickets to Manilow’s February 18th concert in Jacksonville, FL. The box office at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts will be the drop off point for the instrument drive now through February 18th. Hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
“If we do not inspire a love of the arts in our children, there will be no more arts for our children to love,” said Staci Kelly Pendry, General Music Teacher. “The Manilow Music project helps to give all students access to that inspiration through their love of music and generosity. We are honored to accept this thoughtful gift on behalf of the John E. Ford PK-8 community.”
The Manilow Music Project (MMP) is part of The Manilow Fund for Health and Hope. It was formed as a grass roots organization to assist local charities and programs. Its primary focus is to provide musical instruments to high schools and middle schools and to provide music scholarships at universities throughout the US, Canada, and the UK.
Tickets are available online at Manilow.com, in person at the Moran Theater Box Office or by phone at 800-745-3000.
