Brand New Brand! 2019 Recipient Announced

May 29, 2019

With the invaluable help of our independent judges throughout a tough selection process, we are delighted to announce that our Brand New Brand! 2019 recipient is The Bronx Conservatory of Music!

Bronx Conservatory of Music brings the gift of music to New York’s Bronx community by providing the highest quality instruction to children and adults at the lowest possible cost, in their own neighborhood. In doing so, this organization makes conservatory training accessible to all, helps develop audiences for fine music, and also contributes to the music culture in the borough.

Arts funding is always under threat, and in helping this small music school we are doing our part to support the arts ecosystem in New York, promoting cultural equity in the Bronx and helping to bring music — and all the benefits that a music education brings — to an underserved community.

You can follow our Brand New Brand! journey with this fantastic nonprofit organization here.
