WELCOME ... Throughout all these exciting and new activities our priority remains the fundamental and overarching goal that all our programs are designed to encourage empowerment and accessibility, and enable all children through music despite their socio-economic position. With this goal in mind we have launched our new campaign “15 x 20” which aims to reach 15 schools by 2020. This will bring quality music education to another 350 students who otherwise would not have the opportunity of a music education. This campaign will increase the total number of students participating in AIFEC programs to over 800. The Hamilton Music Collective’s successes are the direct result of the support, commitment and enthusiasm of the community we have created. Together, we are ensuring that the Hamilton Music Collective will continue as a leader and change-maker in music education and innovative music programming for children and youth in Hamilton. We thank our Board of Directors for their leadership, and our instructors, volunteers and students for their caring and dedication. To our many supporters, thank you for helping us play a part in nurturing the creativity of young people today! 141 Park Street North, Hamilton, ON L8R 2N5 (905) 517-1664 www.hamiltonmusiccollective.ca Astrid Hepner President/CEO An Instrument For Every Child (AIFEC) provides Hamilton’s inner-city children & youth with a high quality music education and allows them to explore their creative potential.
