Fund-A-Need!
The Fund-a-Need Initiative launched at Lobster Palooza was created to raise funds to bring educational programming to inner-city schools free-of-charge. Indianapolis Opera is committed to serving our community through our educational outreach programming.
Every year, the Opera creates an original children's opera to share with the youngest members of our Hoosier community, along with their teachers and families. These operas include a detailed curriculum guide and are a part of our "Sing Me A Story" series, which brings musical opportunities to elementary school children of every culture and background. Often inspired by fairy tales and fables, each children's opera has a relevant moral at the center of its story. In these outreach events, children are not only exposed to the thrill of live opera singing, but they are also given the opportunity to learn about important topics like bullying, acceptance, overcoming fears, and making new friends.
Many schools still face unprecedented challenges and reduced budgets, especially in areas of music education, and with the funds raised, we will be able to bring educational programming to nearly 30 schools free-of-charge, omitting that financial barrier.
