YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

You can see it in the faces of all the students we educate. And you can hear it in the beautiful, challenging, invigorating music that we perform. If arts can make a difference in people’s lives, then you are a big reason why.

We greet you this holiday season with the best news: the difference you make when you support BAE.

Our pioneering Arts in Education programs reach 15,000 students and families through our partnership with NYC Department of Education providing impactful courses in music, dance, visual arts, and theater. We employ working artists who share their instructional talents and cultivate the love of their art forms among Bronx schoolchildren.

NYC Department of Education chose Bronx Arts Ensemble for its Early Childhood String Pathway pilot program at PS 32 (Belmont, Bronx) to bring violin lessons to 3- and 4-year-old preschoolers. Based on our success, the program will extend into next year and expand to the entire school providing students with skills to potentially become professional musicians.

Because of you, we stage 30 free and exceptional performances in almost every musical genre each year, reaching 20,000+ people.

BAE has a residency relationship with the University of Mount St Vincent and collaborative performances between BAE with the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. Chamber Music America calls BAE a national leader in diversifying chamber music. Because of you, the Bronx has a community arts organization with national renown.

As you can see, we invest in our community and ask our community to help us reach our fundraising goal of $150,000 in 2025 to fund our world-class concerts and life-changing classes.

We know that our success and accomplishments belong as much to you as to our hard-working staff and partners. That’s why our good news is the best time to renew our connection to you.

You are the biggest part of all we do. Because of you, Bronx Arts Ensemble makes a difference. Here’s to a fantastic 2025 and with your help, the best year of BAE yet.
