**"THE GLOBAL ORCHESTRA" WILL BE AN ONLY-OF-ITS KIND INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF CULTURE-BEARING MUSIC EDUCATORS WHO WILL TEACH INSPIRING INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS TO KIDS EVERYWHERE -- EITHER IN-PERSON OR ONLINE. HELP ALL AROUND THIS WORLD LAUNCH AN INSPIRING NEW PROJECT. WITH YOUR SUPPORT — AND ONLY WITH YOUR SUPPORT — WILL WE BE ABLE TO DEVELOP A ROBUST, SELF-SUSTAINING ORGANIZATION THAT WILL MAKE GLOBAL EDUCATION AVAILABLE TO KIDS EVERYWHERE. 

Help us launch:

1) THE GLOBAL ORCHESTRA TEACHING COMMUNITY: an international network of educators who will bring global music to children no matter where they live. The network will make musical culture-bearers available for bookings both in person and online, enabling the network to include educators who can provide students with access to an extraordinary diversity of experiences, and allowing our teachers to reach children in rural or distant parts of the world.

2) THE GLOBAL ORCHESTRA PERFORMING ENSEMBLE: a multicultural performing ensemble composed of accomplished, culturally diverse musicians that will engage kids in concerts at family-friendly festivals and community events, fusing global genres in THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONCERTS FOR KIDS.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE PROJECT, and SEE YOU AT THE MARATHON!
