Groundwork Music Project to Host 3rd Annual 'We Sing We Play Concert' in April
Groundwork Music Project is proud to announce the 3rd Annual We Sing We Play Concert. This event will feature performances by students from Blackshear, Maplewood, Palm, Brentwood, and Promiseland Elementary Schools. Also performing will be preschoolers from Trinity, Little Folks, and Martin House.
Songs will be accompanied by the Groundwork Music Orchestra. Neal Kassanoff, the founder of Groundwork Music Project, along with other professional musicians, have been working with elementary students and musician/teachers throughout the current school year to help students learn the fundamentals of singing and playing music from the Groundwork Music Orchestra catalog. Students will sing and play ukulele.
Groundwork Music Orchestra will perform original material, including songs co-written by Kassanoff and Ben Kweller, plus other favorites from the Groundwork Music canon. This event gives young students a chance to experience the joy of both music and performance. Audience members are encouraged to sing along, bringing a participatory spirit to the event.
Groundwork Music Project enhances the lives of children by providing free and low cost music classes to schools with limited means. These programs provide the musical activities that are essential to healthy development across a broad spectrum: emotional, cognitive, social and more. The mission of the Groundwork Music Project is simple: to provide high quality music education programs to young children who could not otherwise afford it.
This free event is sponsored in large part by City of Austin's Cultural Arts Funding. Groundwork Music Project welcomes donations as the organization heads into its spring pledge drive.

CALENDAR LISTING Tuesday, April 26th, 2016, 5pm-7pm-Groundwork Music Project presents the We Sing We Play Concert at George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center (1165 Angelina Street, Austin, TX 78702).
