LENOX, Mass. — 18 Degrees will host their Kids 4 Harmony Summer Gala Concert on June 25, 5:30 PM, at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Tanglewood.
The evening will begin with a reception followed by performances starting at 7:00 PM. Over 50 Kids 4 Harmony students will be involved, and there will be a special piece featuring Boston Symphony Orchestra Cellist Owen Young.
Carolyn and Eli Newberger will be honored for their dedication to the program, in addition to the commitment they have made to child welfare and the power of music. The evening's program includes pieces by Bohm, Meyer, Price, and Couperin, as well as an original composition by one of the K4H student musicians.
The concert will close with a special performance of Che-Yi Lee's Dancing Strings by current students, alumni, and teaching artists.
Kids 4 Harmony, an after-school program based at Morningside Community School in Pittsfield and Brayton Elementary School in North Adams, is inspired by Venezuela's El Sistema, an ensemble-based musical approach with a social justice mission.
Through Kids 4 Harmony, students have access to music instruction, performance opportunities, and family support at no cost.
Tickets for the Gala, which include a catered reception at the Tanglewood Tent Club, and concert-only tickets are available on our website, www.18degreesma.org.
