SPOKANE, Wash. — One deserving music teacher in Spokane will be honored by Barry Manilow during his show at the Spokane Arena this summer.
On July 11, Barry Manilow will bring his ‘Last Spokane Concert’ to Spokane Veteran’s Memorial Arena.
During the show, a local music teacher will be honored by Manilow for their impactful work in the community. They will also receive $5,000 in new instruments for their high school band.
An additional $5,000 will also be presented directly to the teacher.
Manilow’s foundation, The Manilow Music Project, partnered with Spokane Arena to identify some of Spokane’s favorite music teachers.
“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,” Manilow said. “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.”
Voting for the winning teacher is open now to the public at www.manilowmucisproject.org. For more information and the purchase tickets for the July 11 show, visit www.barrymanilow.com.
