You’re Invited: Spring Fundraiser Event, June 15th at 7pm

Beginning on this date and ending on Thursday, June 17th, we are looking to raise $20,000 to support our In-School and After-School Programs as we plan our return to in-person lessons and classes and serve even more East Harlem students with quality music education.

Join us for a special live stream event on our Facebook and YouTube pages featuring student and faculty performances, as well as speeches and testimonials from Opus 118 faculty, staff, alumni, and families. This virtual event will help us celebrate all of the fantastic music-making in the Opus 118 community during the last year while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. The creativity did not end when we moved our lessons online and we look forward to sharing the exciting accomplishments of the last year with our friends and supporters.

Check out opus118.org, your email, or our Facebook on Tuesday, June 15th for more information on this exciting and essential opportunity for Opus 118. We thank you in advance for your support!
