mission
Orchestras, artists, dreamers, heroes and trailblazers from across the globe are gathering in Toronto to proclaim a simple truth: Music changes everything. With music education, children grow up to achieve significantly more academically, socially and interpersonally. They connect better with others, and create better careers for themselves. The Promise of Music is a spectacular week of joy and inspiration that celebrates how music making transforms and saves lives across the world.
