Songrise International

Songrise International Transforming lives through the power of music Songrise International serves young people around the world.

Songrise International, formerly Music Camp International was founded in 2002 by internationally acclaimed children's music specialist, Connie Fortunato. After five full days of rehearsals, classes, and instrumental training, all camp participants present a full concert for parents, friends, and civic authorities. In response to the pandemic, we began virtual camps with choir performances. Young p

eople from around the world have been participating! Out of this, a new program has emerged called "Musedics" which is a music program with three options: 1) We work with teachers in - school by having our Master Teachers working virtually to a classroom of students and their regular teacher; 2) Our Master Teachers work virtually in after-school programs in "micro music hubs" with up to eight students and an advisor; and 3) Our Master Teachers work virtually with Individual young people learning in the privacy of their home.

Such an amazing, historic event - almost 600 young people in an open-air concert in Kyiv, Ukraine. Such a welcome voice instead of air raid alerts - a message of hope and love and a prayer for peace. The students performed on instruments along with the Presidential Orchestra - the Theme of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony - Ode to Joy! The choir performed five songs in three languages - Ukrainian, English and Latin - "Dona Nobis Pacem" - "Give to us Peace!" along with "You Raise Me Up" and "Why We Sing!"

Here's a post from May 20, 2015! And we're still working in Vinnytsia! This is our second year to do Musedics. But this was our start - and we hope to do another Music Camp in Vinnytsia!

Our first Music Camp in Vinnitsa, Ukraine was an amazing success. Our partnership with Community Foundation got us to the "heart" of the city on our first visit. The children, as always, were incredible, as was the teaching team. Visit the Camp, hear the kids, meet the teachers . . . it's all about transforming lives--one child and one teacher at a time.

And here's the link to that concert!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In just a few weeks, Songrise will travel to Ukraine to conduct a Music Camp for 900 children and youth. “Artek – The Voice of a New Generation,” will bring hope and inspire new dreams to many directly affected by war
We’ve already raised more than half the funds. $10,000 remains—and June is almost here.
This final stretch will cover instruments, teaching artists, and travel for the international team. Without it, parts of the program simply won’t happen as planned.
Will you help close this gap today?
Every gift right now moves this from possible to fully realized.
