Curtains Up!

Gig Salad member Rachel Philips has a cause on her heart, and it’s to bring the gift of music to orphans in Kenya. Here’s what she’s up to, and how you can help her achieve her dream:

Music Crossing Borders is a New York City based world music ensemble dedicated to the education of students of all ages. Through performance and interaction, we introduce our audience to musical genres from all across the globe. Music blurs the boundaries between race, ethnicity and culture. It unites us as a human race, based not on what we look like or where we live, but by its indescribable ability to move us beyond words. For these reasons, it is more important now than ever to bring music to the community at large!

Music Crossing Borders provides 45 minutes of high energy, interactive assemblies designed to keep students engaged and excited, while exposing them to musical genres across the globe. Clinics are available for all grade levels–kindergarten to university–as well as synagogues, churches, other religious organizations and community organizations all over the world.

Flying Kites Global: Bringing Music to Kenyan Children

Music Crossing Borders has been invited to perform for children living in an orphanage in South Kinangop, Kenya as part of Flying Kites Global. The amount of money we need to raise to bring our six-member band over for this wonderful opportunity is a large number but big plans are in the works toward raising it! Please join us on our endeavor to bring music to the children of this Kenyan orphanage by learning more here.

By giving what you can and passing on this link, you’ll be helping us tremendously in this wonderful cause! Thank you for your support!

Best,
Rachel and Charlie
