JOIN US FOR OUR 2023 SPRING SALON ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

We invite you to celebrate the students of Key to Change, their achievements, and their successes! Contribute to their bright futures by helping to remove the barriers in classical music education.

On May 7th at 2:00pm Pacific Time, you will attend a reception and 60 minute awards program and concert to raise scholarship funds to support students. Scholarship funds raised during this event will support students throughout the year.

Additionally, join us as we honor Vivian Phillips with our inaugural Community Achievement Award for her outstanding contributions to youth development, the Black community, and the arts sector. Former television news anchor Mark Wright will serve as emcee.

Our goal is to raise $150,000 and we need your help to get there!
