A new American project, and an incredible visit with Robert and Karen. Opus 118 served 600 children last year. The students are serious and committed to their music. They have performed in every major concert venue in NYC in the last year. Yes, that would include Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Wow! And they performed at the Childrens Inaugural Ball in January! Does music change your life? Opus 118 is lifting children in tough NYC neighborhoods to heights unknown. Students are obtaining scholarships to high school music academies, going to college and entering situations where they are often the only people of color—with grace and gratitude.
