Over the years Musica Musicians have given fundraising performances for special causes. Our 20th anniversary performance in 2006 benefited the Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestra whose instruments and sheet music were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Our April 2012 performance benefited KidZNotes, a Durham program based on El Sistema, a musical organization to help under-privileged children learn to play a musical instrument.
KidZNotes will benefit again in December when they are visited by Project Ubuntu. The week in North Carolina will be with KidZnotes in Durham from Dec.16-22, culminating with a performance on Dec.22nd by the students and teacher/mentors. www.KidZNotes.org.
ABOUT PROJECT UBUNTU
Musica will be following Project Ubuntu, www.projectubuntu.org, as the founder, Chapel Hill native Daniel Becton (a former cello student of Jane Salemson), begins a year-long visit to each of the US 50 states and DC. He will travel across the country to draw attention to the critical need for citizen engagement to support disadvantaged Americans. The project will buoy organizations and individuals who fulfill this mission and will investigate some of the toughest challenges that face our country. The focus is to highlight their causes by serving alongside them and inspiring others to become active in their local community. They will cover 18,000 miles and spend a week in every state and Washington, D.C. On August 27, 2012, Daniel, supported by several volunteers each doing a specific task, will begin the year in Freeport, Maine.
