The Benefit Concert is a fundraising event that looks at the past, present, and future of SOUNDS Academy.
On May 22nd, SOUNDS Academy will virtually present The 2021 Benefit Concert at 1:00pm. This concert will celebrate the impact of our programs and celebrate the successes of our students, teachers, and SOUNDS Academy Family. Guests will listen to speakers and performances that will include our students and local guest artists.

Additionally, guests will be able to bid on Silent Auction Items and donate in order to support music education for underserved communities. 100% of the proceeds from this concert will go towards spreading music education opportunities for children in Title-1 Schools and lower income neighborhoods.

If you too believe that the zip code of a child should not dictate their access to music education, please join us to learn how you can help to make a difference.
