01 · The foundation

The children who come are not spectators.

Katya founded the non-profit to bring children into halls they would otherwise never enter. The point is not only hearing the music. It is stepping into a historic hall, feeling the energy of the room, and knowing they belong in it.

She also plays where the children already are, in school halls and classrooms across New York City.

Status

Your gift
Tax-deductible, and it goes straight to sending a child to Carnegie Hall.
