15
Years of
Global
Understanding
and Music!
2011
was a special
year for The
Multicultural
Music Group.
This past year
we were proud
to celebrate
our 15th
anniversary of
service to New
York City’s
youth. We are
committed to
increasing our
range and
scope of
services for
our student
population.
Over recent
years, the economic
climate has
been
devastating to
the arts in
Public schools
throughout New
York City. We
are happy to
announce that
the MMG has
been fortunate
in being able
to expand our
program to
reach a
broader
population.
For the
2011-12 school
year we are
extremely
happy to
welcome back
MS 254 from
the Fordham
section of the
Bronx, MS 223
and X296 from
the South
Bronx area,
Mott Hall High
School located
in upper
Manhattan and
the newest
addition to
our family, MS
421 also
located in
upper
Manhattan.
Over the last
fifteen years
the MMG has
provided vital
services to
over 5,000 of
New York
City’s youth.
The
Multicultural
Music Group
wishes to
thank all of
the
organizations
and
individuals
that have made
our success
possible.
MMG and
Youth INC
Together again
in
“Celebration”
The
Multicultural
Music Group
and Youth INC
hosted the
much-anticipated
gala at the
Waldorf
Astoria hotel
on November
14, 2011.
“Celebration”
is the
culmination of
a yearlong
partnership with
Youth INC.
During this
time MMG has
taken part in
several
workshops,
meetings and
cultivation
events with
the purpose of
improving our
fund raising
capabilities
in order to
provide better
services to
our students.
Youth INC, a
non-profit
organization,
dedicates its
resources to
improve other
organizations
who serve our
city’s
disadvantaged
youth. 2011
marked the 4th
year that the
MMG
participated
in the
Celebration
program. The
event was very
successful and
involved 14
partner
organizations.
Over 2 million
dollars were
raised by all
of the
different
non-profit
groups. After
the MMG
reception,
guests were
treated to
great music
and dancing
courtesy of
the Hank Lane
orchestra. On
behalf of our
Board, Staff
and students,
we would like
to thank
everyone that
donated funds
and time to
enable us to
surpass our
goal.
MMG
and Casas
Culturales
On May 26,
2011 MMG
students from
MS 223
performed for
the entire MS
223 student
body. This
performance
was the
culmination of
the “Casas
Culturales”
project which
was taught and
administered
by the
legendary
Bomba and
Plena group,
Los Pleneros
de la 21. This
experience was
made possible
by a grant
from The New
York State
Council on the
Arts. MMG
music students
participated
in a 10
session
residency
which involved
singing,
dancing and
drumming. They
were also
taught the
history and
culture of
this popular
Puerto Rican
folkloric art
form. The
performance
was very well
received by
the students
and the
participant’s
family
members. We
hope to
continue this
enriching
partnership
with LP21 and
NYSCA for many
years to come.
It is the
mission of the
MMG to provide
quality,
multicultural
programming to
our youth.
The
Multicultural Music
Group Inc. would like
to announce our
continuing partnership
with Youth Inc., a
nonprofit whose
mission is to improve
the lives of America's
youth through a unique
venture philanthropy
model that empowers,
develops, and educates
nonprofit
organizations serving
young people.
For
