Dec. 1, 2020 is Giving Tuesday, a worldwide celebration of generosity. It’s a day when people around the globe come together to express kindness in all its forms – lending their their voices and resources to support communities and causes in the not-for-profit arena.

 

In 2020, the need for action, advocacy, and support in the nonprofit world has never been more urgent…or necessary. We have learned firsthand this year that music and the arts can connect us and add vibrancy to our lives even when we cannot be together. Our 100 students can bear witness not only to lessons learned, friendships forged, and even collaborative music made in our digital ream, but also to the profound service their artistic gifts have given to our global community. None more so than to the patients and front-line works at our local health-care facilities, whose isolation and stress was broken by a steady (live)stream of one-on-one performances by our brilliant young students.

 

 

 

 

 

Winter storms may lie ahead, but here at Heifetz we’re determined to play through, with upcoming holiday performances and new initiatives – both virtual and in-person. We aren’t just hoping for a better future; we are planning it right now…with the same commitment to the unique Heifetz mission, vision, and values that made our Virtual Institute possible.

 

 

 

 

This Giving Tuesday, as we ask for a little “cup o’ kindness,” please help fill our cup with whatever you can spare. Thanks to you, Heifetz will be here, both to carry us through today, and to create a robust 25th Anniversary year tomorrow, with an even stronger platform for the the next generation of great young artists to Communicate – Engage – Inspire!
