Harmony Program

For 15 years, the Harmony Program has been changing lives through music. They provide musical instruments and music education to children in New York City’s most underserved neighborhoods and within diverse communities often underrepresented in classical music.

Current project

The Fonds K supports the Petits Violons of the Paris Opéra, which teaches violin to children from underprivileged neighbourhoods and Viva Ensemble, which strives to share the emotions procured from music within the hospital and charity arenas.

The Petits Violons of the Paris Opéra

"Les petits violons" is one of the Paris Opera's educational activities. For three years, the primary school students participating in the program have been benefitted from musical practice workshops for seven hours a week during school hours, as well as meetings with Opera professionals. They also attended rehearsals and performances. The effects of the program are extremely beneficial: teachers have noted an impact on the students' openness to all things cultural and creative, and the majority of students have expressed a desire to pursue an artistic practice at the end of the program. The program ended with a performance of "La Traversée" at the Amphitheatre of the Opéra Bastille.

Démos

Launched in 2010, Démos intervenes where access to artistic and cultural education is made difficult by economic and social factors, or by the geographical remoteness of teaching institutions. It offers 3 years of free orchestral musical training for children aged 7 to 12 from disadvantaged neighbourhoods and isolated rural areas. After an initial phase of experimentation within the larger Paris region (2010-2012), a second stage (2012-2015) took place including two additional departments of France (Aisne and Isère) followed by a third (2015-2019) extending to the whole country. This social orchestral and musical education scheme now includes almost fifty orchestras in France.

Les Concerts de Poche

Since 2005, Les Concerts de Poche has been developing high-standard, inclusive musical projects with the finest performers of classical, lyrical and jazz music, giving priority to young people, as well as people and geographical areas farthest from culture.

The association enables the most vulnerable and isolated people to regain their self-confidence, as well as develop individually and collectively through the experience of music at its highest level. Based in six regional offices across France, the team is constantly on the road, developing projects everywhere and for everyone. The Fonds K pour la Musique supports the initiatives carried out in Reims.
