Summer Music Program in Haiti

"Keith Johnston, director of Bands at Sacred Heart University, recently joined music professors from across the United States and half a dozen countries to teach music to some of Haiti's most talented young musicians.

"The 10-day musical mission was to teach at the Holy Trinity School of Music's Summer Music Camp.

"'The summer music program has run uninterrupted since 1971. Through political turmoil - and the devastating earthquake of 2010 - this program has taken place,' he says. "

A recent Connecticut Post article reported on the summer music program presented under the auspices of BLUME Haiti, which works with Haitian and International partners to "develop leadership skills awaken individual potential, and create opportunities for social and civic collaboration and economic development through music education and performance."
