Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow's non-profit organization, the Manilow Music Project, will put musical instruments into the hands of Clark County School District middle and high school students beginning with a major donation this Fall. Beginning August 18, fans who bring a new or gently used musical instrument to the Paris Théâtre box office will receive a voucher for the performance date of their choice. The Manilow Music Project (MMP) is part of The Manilow Fund for Health and Hope and was formed in response to the needs of public schools and their severely depleted music programs, and works towards highlighting these programs. Additionally, MMP aids these programs in the form of donations of instruments and materials to further music education around the country.
"I'm honored to be able to give the gift of music to so many not just for a night, but for a lifetime," says Manilow.The Manilow Music Project is also funded by the Manilow Paris Platinum Experience Tickets, which are sold at all performances. The Platinum Experience Ticket includes a front row seat, pre-show champagne reception, meet & greet and photo with Barry Manilow, and an autographed show program.
