Project STEP + Opportunity Music Project

Join us on Sunday, April 19th at 3 pm at the Manhattan School of Music for a powerful collaborative concert by two inspiring youth organizations; Project STEP of Boston and Opportunity Music Project of New York City. This free event showcases talented young musicians from both programs, highlighting not only their technical skill but also their shared passion for music and community.

This collaborative partnership plays a crucial role in helping students thrive. By working together, these young musicians develop essential life skills such as communication, teamwork, and resilience. They are exposed to new perspectives and teaching styles, which broadens their artistic horizons and encourages creative expression. Performing in a prestigious venue like the Manhattan School of Music further motivates students, giving them a sense of accomplishment and belonging within the wider musical community.

This joint concert underscores the transformative power of music. It demonstrates how partnerships between organizations like Project STEP and Opportunity Music Project can amplify opportunities for young musicians, inspiring them to reach their full potential both on and off the stage.

Celebrate the power of music with us!
