We Couldn't Do It Without You! |

We've had a strong few months of instrument donations and the instruments shown below were delivered and shipped to school and after-school programs across the United States in recent weeks. A heartfelt Hungry for Music thanks to
Commonwealth Roofing & Siding for generously providing warehouse space to flow instruments through.

Hungry for Music is grateful for luthiers Marc Glickman and Kelly Criscuolo-Debutts of
Glickman Luthier. They have repaired dozens of violins, violas, and cellos for us this year and the fine work these skilled luthiers do is evident in the before and after photos on the left. Thank you, Marc and Kelly! |

We delivered one full-size upright bass, one 3/4-size upright bass, and six fiddles to
Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM). It was our third delivery to JAM this year.
JAM currently has 30 programs in three states and we support their mission of keeping traditional Appalachian music alive. |

Spotlight on Community MusicWorks
|
|
|
The list of happy students at
Community MusicWorks
in Providence, Rhode Island keeps growing! Hungry for Music has donated many violins and violas to this vibrant community organization that provides free after-school music programming to youth in Providence’s South Side neighborhoods.
Founded in 1997 by Sebastian Ruth, Community MusicWorks builds long-term learning and mentoring relationships between professional musicians, children, and families in the most diverse and underserved neighborhoods of Providence, Rhode Island. Resident Musicians and Fellows teach instrument lessons at no cost to children in the west and south sides of Providence.
Senior Resident Musician Jesse Holstein says,
"Hungry for Music has been an incredible partner and resource! Thank you for everything you do."

Since becoming a non-profit 20 years ago, Hungry for Music has brought the healing quality of music to over six thousand children through its musical instrument donation program. We appreciate everyone who has helped us along the way and could not fulfill our mission without the generosity of others.
