Music icon Barry Manilow announced his Manilow Music Project would once again award a deserving music teacher in each city of his summer arena tour.
The Grammy award winner previously announced a special six-show arena tour run that kicks off on August 4th at TD Garden in Boston, MA stopping at Prudential Center in Newark, UBS Arena in Belmont Park, PPL Center in Allentown, PA, and Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, before wrapping in Philadelphia at Wells Fargo Center on August 14th.
Every venue on Manilow’s tour has participated by suggesting that schools and teachers in their area wish to be considered for this award. In each city, the winning teacher will receive a 5K cash award and another 5K in “Manilow bucks” to purchase music instruments for their school’s music program.
“It is wonderful to partner with our concert venues to identify schools and music teachers in their neighborhoods that deserve this small token of my gratitude, said Manilow. “Many school music programs have either been terminated, or their funds have been severely depleted. I always want to do my part through The Manilow Music Project to keep music in schools.”
The Manilow Music Project opens voting to anyone who has ever been moved by the power of music to vote for their favorite music teacher. It has given away over ten million dollars worth of funds and music instrument donations.
