Hundreds of national interviews on television and in the press. White House concert. Opus plans to spearhead the expansion of music teaching in other Harlem schools. Major funding is needed to offer pilot teaching efforts in selected schools and to encourage eventual public funding. The new headquarters of Opus will be used for after-school, weekend, and summer programs for the performance students and for individual music study.
Funding is essential for both staff and teachers.
Opus 118 wishes to collaborate with District 4 in creating a new K-12 facility for the arts. Such a school would be a beacon to the other boroughs of New York City and to inner city schools systems across the country.
