Our mission is to improve the lives and opportunities of children and youth through the classical guitar.

Kithara Project is a collective of guitarists working to promote the guitar and with it, to create, perform, educate, engage, and empower in socially responsible ways. The members of the organization, all internationally-acclaimed performers and teachers, work both domestically and internationally to organize performances, collaborations, workshops, and longer-term residencies in non-traditional settings. Through its performances, the Kithara Project brings all the richness of the classical guitar to those places where, perhaps too often, music is seldom heard. Program Goals:
Kithara Project educational outreach programs are a key part of its mission to create, perform, educate, engage, and empower. The goals of these programs are to:

* provide quality musical experiences for young people;
* partner with public, private and charter schools
* to supplement current music programs;
expand collaborations with community organizations to reach greater numbers of disadvantaged young people, particularly in inner-city communities and communities without access to live arts experiences;
* encourage long-term concert attendance by young people;
* provide world-class instruction for emerging instrumental students; and
* provide inspiring role models for students of all ages and backgrounds.

Amazing things happen when young people open themselves to music, and these pictures from our program in prove it!
In the first year of the program, these students went from no musical experience to performing on a big stage for quite the crowd! Thanks to the hard work of Raffi Donoian and, of course, the students themselves.
We love to see young people empowered through music! And it's happening in five locations across North America. Follow along and to spread the word!

From the classroom to the concert stage, we empower young people to expressive themselves through music. Here's a snapshot from our Albuquerque program... Many hours of preparation go into presenting a concert, and the students see their hard work pay off!
We're excited to get back to music making with students in and next month!

Photos from our final concert in Boston last month! Celebrating our 10 year anniversary means we're celebrating a decade of empowering students to be expressive, individual, capable human beings through classical guitar mastery... And it all started in Boston!
From first year beginners to graduating seniors who were with the program for almost the whole decade, our end of year concerts always serve as a reminder of what's possible when we make music together! Thanks for being here with us.
