ABOUT
Join us for an unforgettable evening to celebrate Project STEP's forty years of championing equity in classical music. Listen to a concert from our student musicians and alumni, including 2023 Sphinx Competition Senior Division Winner, Njioma Grevious; acclaimed violinist, STEP alumna and Project STEP Artistic, Advisor Mariana Green-Hill; guest artist-activist Zakiyyah; and keynote speaker; Michael J. Bobbitt, Executive Director, Mass Cultural Council.

Relax with friends post-concert for a special outdoor reception overlooking the Boston skyline. Project STEP will also host an online auction with unique vacations, art, concerts, and more (details coming soon).

All proceeds from this event directly support our students and program and make you an ambassador who values the diverse cultures and ethnicities of our communities. Thank you.
