April is Music for Lifelong Achievement Month at the Sheldon Concert Hall

April is Music For Lifelong Achievement (MFLA) month at The Sheldon! Bring a used or new musical instrument to any Sheldon concert during the month of April, or bring it by during normal business hours, Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., and help us to continue to "keep the music playing" by providing instruments to underprivileged students at St. Louis area schools. All donors will receive a coupon for a FREE beignet from Café Ventana!

Over the past eight years, MFLA instrument drives have collected hundreds of instruments, which have been recycled to St. Louis City and County school districts and a variety of community music programs.

Don't have an instrument to donate? Financial contributions can help pay for necessary repairs of donated instruments, as well as accessories such as strings, reeds and sheet music. Call The Sheldon at 314.533.9900 or visit www.supportmfla.org for more information or to make a donation. MFLA will provide a thank you letter that will serve as a tax deduction receipt for the value of the instruments or the funds donated.

MFLA is a part of the Sheldon Arts Foundation, an accredited 501c3 organization and is based at the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, Missouri.
