An Event That Pulls Heart Strings…
Band of Angels has matched over 3,000 low-income children with instruments so they can participate in school music programs, sent 400 deserving students to summer music camp on full scholarships, and awarded college scholarships.
The Heart Strings Gala raises funds so we can continue to provide instruments and scholarships to kids in need. We believe that children – regardless of their financial situation – should have the chance to explore and enjoy music.
Your 2023 Heart Strings Gala donation will directly and positively impact students’ lives and is an evening with live performances, dinner, silent and live auction, dancing, and conversation with a fun group of music lovers and community leaders.
Be a part of the best formal event KC has to offer!
We hope you'll join us!
