One City at VanderCook
VanderCook College of Music is thrilled to announce that our One City outreach program has been awarded a $7,000 grant from the Mockingbird Foundation.
The Mockingbird Foundation, an all-volunteer nonprofit founded
and run entirely by Phish fans, awarded 20 new grants totaling $141,263 in support of music education for children.
One City is one of two programs in Illinois
chosen out of 1,156 applicants.
VanderCook’s One City program offers free music lessons,
rehearsals and instruments to 5th through 8th graders from
local schools and neighborhoods. One City pays tribute to
Chicago’s jazz roots in the Bronzeville neighborhood by offering instruments from the jazz band family, including saxophone, trumpet, trombone, percussion (drums), bass and piano.
