Music and Beyond / Musique et Autres Mondes

75 concerts!

July 4 – 17 juillet

…classical music and so much more!

Ottawa, Canada

Music and Beyond is very excited to be taking part in GivingTuesday on November 27th

GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering. It takes place each year after Black Friday. This wonderful Initiative harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities. It provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges
(Via GivingTuesday)

With all that we’re striving to accomplish at Music and Beyond, we’ve decided to focus this campaign on our work with young people. As you may know, our young people’s initiative is to connect more young people with classical music. We attempt this in many ways but have recently decided to create our very own Youth Board. This will provide local youth with the exciting opportunity to learn about governance and experience working in the arts. Members will work closely with our Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers while sharing their ideas and interests with us. Projects will include planning concerts and events, meeting local and international artists, and so much more! We’re hoping, with your help to raise $20,000 for this initiative in order to promote, recruit, support and sustain this project.
