BRING MUSIC

BMTL measures our success by the number of low-income children who are able to participate in band and orchestra classes who otherwise would be unable to do so... In 2009, Steve Blatt was hosting a classical music program for Colorado Public Radio. The station celebrated some of the most beautiful music ever composed, even as the news frequently reported cuts to school budgets which reduced or eliminated funding to local arts programs. Steve proposed asking his listeners to share their love of music with our state's children in a most tangible way. Soon, the first instrument drive was launched, requesting gently used band and orchestra instruments which could be refurbished and awarded to low income students... Donating an instrument to a Colorado-based school music program can make a huge difference to a child. Learn more about how you can contribute.
