We greatly appreciate your support of Midori & Friends! Since our beginning 17 years ago, Midori & Friends has now reached over 160,000 students by providing access to comprehensive and high-quality musical education programs. Partnering in over 40 traditionally underserved schools through New York City, the collaboration among school administrators and the board, staff and teaching artists of Midori & Friends creates a school community encouraging of the arts in public schools which might not otherwise be able to provide a music curriculum.
