On May 14, our Project 440 community, including our dedicated Board of Directors, Beyond the Music Committee, and Honorary Committee, partners, educators, artists, teacher mentors, and supporters, came together at Southside Event Space to celebrate the achievements of our inspiring students and alumni. Thank you for being a part of our vibrant and growing community; for cheering on our student musicians, Samir and Victor, alumni Marquise, Mandy, Mora-Lee, Claire, and Malinda, who shone so brightly; and for supporting the hundreds of Philadelphia youth we serve annually. Beyond the Music has raised $52,000 to support our youth education programs. THANK YOU! Marcus John Bryant curated the program featuring some of Philadelphia's most prolific and sought-after musicians resulting in a beautiful, inspiring, and fun evening of music. (fb)
