for everyone

I just wanted to let everybody know that a few months ago I joined the Board of Directors of a great non-profit called Piano Outreach of New York. In a nutshell, we raise money to provide piano and music theory lessons for NYC children that can't afford any kind of after-school lessons, and in many cases go to schools that don't even have music programs.

More information is available at the web-site (which is very under construction).

We're also having our first fund-raising event (since I've been involved) on Wednesday April 20th, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, in NYC. World renowned Argentinian Pianist (and great guy) Sebastian Forster, will be playing a short (30 minute or so) program. There will also be cocktails and food. The event is invite only but there's still plenty of room so if you're in the NYC area and are interested let me know and I'll provide more information and get you an invite.

Hi Michael,

This is a great idea. Is Alecia involved at all?

I wish I could make the concert!

Not really beyond encouraging me to get involved, and introducing me to Vera, the founder, who my wife is friends with from Mannes.

That's wonderful that you're involved with this program. I remember Vera from Mannes. Way to go Vera - and good luck.

This is a really noble cause Michael. This is really good of you to involve yourself in such a project.

Pianos are so expensive these days and for me it is difficult to imagine schools with music departments without a piano.

I am very interested in the details of this event.

Power to you man—you’re making a difference!
