Barry Manilow saves the music!
He launched the Manilow Music Project in 2008 to increase the amount of musical instruments in schools.
His latest effort is a local music instrument drive. Yesterday there were thousands of dollars of instruments donated, wheich were given to 15 Clark County School District middle and high schools.
Manilow who is performing in Las Vegas for the next two years was successful last month as well, when fans who donated instruments to the Paris Théâtre box office received a voucher to a Manilow performance.
This is such a great thing, since when school budgets are cut it is often in the area of the arts.
Manilow, who credits his school music program for his success said, ├óΓé¼┼ôI’m honored to be able to give the gift of music to so many not just for a night, but for a lifetime.”
Thanks Barry! You have a big heart!!
