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.

Bronx Arts Ensemble has invested in our community for 53 years and asks your help to reach our $150,000 fundraising goal for 2025 to continue funding our world-class concerts and life-changing classes.

We greet you this holiday season with the best news: the difference your support makes.

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.

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.

Because of you, Bronx Arts Ensemble makes a difference. Will you add your support to the many who believe in--and need--the Bronx Arts Ensemble?
