”I’m extremely happy to be involved with an organization that provides such a positive opportunity for young people, says Mr. Delson. “Music education can be an invaluable component of a child’s intellectual, personal, and creative development.”
“We are extremely proud in the amount of diversity represented in our Honorary Board.
