A limited number of tickets will be sold online. Ticket sales will fund unique music education programs for underserved kids through the work of the Bluegrass Ambassadors, an Illinois-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization who brings music education and cultural understanding to thousands of students all over the world.
About the cause:
As a young non-profit organization, the Bluegrass Ambassadors have brought music education to over 20,000 people in 26+ countries, teaching with songs in more than twelve different languages (including Swahili, Urdu, Arabic, Pidgin English mixed with Yoruba, Luganda, Kyrgyz, Czech, and more). In the week leading up to New Heights, they will bring their unique music education programming to schools in Peoria District 150 and Peoria Heights School District. Their special brand of teaching music through storytelling, improvisation, collaborative performances and songwriting creates positive impressions on children that make them music lovers for life.
This event is made possible with the generous support of the Betty Jayne Brimmer Center for the Performing Arts, Pour Bros. Craft Taproom, Slow Hand Craft Barbecue, WTVP, The Village of Peoria Heights, Shopfront Creative, and the many talented artists performing at the event. Thank you!
