Pledge to make a difference, together.
The We Are One Jazz Project was founded in 2008 by Toronto-based jazz pianist and educator Howard Rees. It provides a creative answer to the needs of Toronto communities by bringing together young ‘at-risk’ children and master jazz musicians in an enriched learning and performance environment.
The project works in partnership with the Toronto District School Board to organize children (grades 3-6) in ‘high priority’ neighbourhoods into large-scale jazz choirs, directed and mentored by master musicians. Rehearsals over a four-month period lead to a public performance at a high-profile venue.
Each year, the project touches some 4,000 students, extended family, teachers, and community members. Thousands more learn about the project through alliances with various media, including TV, radio and print coverage, and social networks.
