“Our hearts go out to the many people who have suffered in Hurricane Harvey. In a few weeks, our teaching artist will begin visiting public school campuses all across the city, teaching them the songs that they’ll sing as part of our program “Around the World with Musiqa.” We’ve done these shows for twelve years, serving over two hundred campuses in greater Houston and more than 50,000 public school students—all at no cost to the participants. As Houston comes together in an unprecedented way to support one another, we want to do our very best for the children of our city. At times like these, the arts are a beacon for the community. The sight and sound of an auditorium full of students singing along with our musicians is truly inspiring. We hope you’ll join us onstage for a reception after our “Bodies in Motion” performance to help support Musiqa and Open Dance Project educational work”. — Anthony Brandt, Musiqa Artistic Director
