Tickets On Sale now at Manilow.com and Ticketmaster.com for Jan. 13 Show
Music icon Barry Manilow announced today his Manilow Music Project will once again award a deserving music teacher in each city of his summer arena tour including Sunrise.
The Grammy award winner previously announced a one-night-only concert set for Friday, Jan. 13, at FLA Live Arena.
Broward County Public Schools and FLA Live Arena participated in the contest by nominating schools and teachers in the local area to be considered for this award. The winning teacher will receive $5,000 cash award and another $5,000 in “Manilow bucks” presented by Barry Manilow to purchase musical instruments for their school’s music program. The winner will also receive VIP tickets to the concert in Sunrise.
“It is wonderful to partner with our concert venues to identify schools and music teachers in their neighborhoods that deserve this small token of my gratitude,” said Manilow. “Many school music programs have either been terminated, or their funds have been severely depleted. I always want to do my part through The Manilow Music Project to keep music in schools.”
The Manilow Music Project contest is now open and anyone who has ever been moved by the power of music can now vote for their favorite music teacher. The Manilow Music Project has given away over ten million dollars’ worth of funds and music instrument donations.
