Barry Manilow Donates New Yamaha Keyboard to Kick Off Music Instrument Drive for Boston Public Schools

Public Can Trade a New or Gently Used Musical Instrument for Free Tickets to Manilow’s ONE LAST TIME! Concert on June 16
 

Boston, MA – Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow is “hitting the road” ONE LAST TIME! and hopes others will follow his philanthropic lead as he donates a Yamaha Keyboard to launch a local instrument drive for Boston Public Schools during his ONE LAST TIME! Tour.  

Anyone who donates a new or gently used musical instrument to the TD Garden box office will receive two free tickets (valid for pre-selected seat locations) for Manilow’s June 16 concert in Boston, MA.
 
“I know firsthand how invaluable music education is,” said Manilow.  “It is a privilege for me to help bring the gift of music to these kids.”
 
The TD Garden box office will be the drop off location for the instrument drive in Boston, from now through June 16, 2015. The box office is open for drop offs between Monday-Thursday 10am-5pm and Friday 10am – 2pm.  

"Barry Manilow’s efforts to help increase the learning and love of music in public schools is a remarkable endeavor, one that helps enrich the lives of aspiring student musicians by providing them additional access to instruments,” said Boston Public Schools Interim Superintendent, John P. McDonough.  “We know that music enriches education, and we greatly appreciate what he is doing to share the gift of music with our Boston Public Schools students." 

The Manilow Music Project (MMP) is part of The Manilow Fund for Health and Hope.  Its primary focus is to provide musical instruments to high schools and middle schools and to provide music scholarships at universities throughout the US, Canada, and the UK.  More information on the Manilow Music Project can be found at www.manilowmusicproject.org.

Tickets for Manilow’s ONE LAST TIME! concert are available online at Manilow.com or ticketmaster.com, in person at the TD Garden box office, or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
