2019 marks 110 years that Brooklyn Music School has been changing lives and building a community centered around the idea that music and performing arts should be accessible to all.

Come out to celebrate a history of remarkable achievement with us over the past 110 years and to look forward to some big changes underway as we revitalize this historic institution in the heart of Brooklyn's cultural district. Over the past seven years we have increased the number of students we work with from 300 to over 8,000. Over 90% of the students we serve receive music and arts education at no or reduced cost.

On November 12th, we will be having an evening of music, great food, drinks, and celebration at our 110 Year Gala at the BAM Cafe at the Opera House next door to our historic facility in Ft Greene. Amazing musical talent will be performing, including Artist Honoree Captain Kirk Douglas of The Roots and The Tonight Show and the 60-woman strong Resistance Revival Chorus.

We will be hearing from Special Guest and BMS Guardian Angel Laurie Cumbo and Honoring Jumaane Williams for tremendous work done on behalf of families, children, and immigrants to build towards a more equitable New York with opportunity for all.

Come hang out with like-minded supporters of music, equity in arts education, and a strong and diverse Brooklyn and secure your seats by purchasing your table or tickets now.

BMS Playhouse Capital Match Campaign

Proceeds from this event will go to match funds that have been allocated by the NY State Council on the Arts for badly needed upgrades to our BMS Playhouse, including installation of theater air conditioning and a renovation of our theater bathrooms. We have already raised $140,000 out of the $250,000 budget, but we need your help to close the gap and complete this work.

Learn more about our BMS Playhouse Capital Campaign Match challenge here and start your own personal campaign to help us reach our goal.
