We want to thank Centre Coordinators Chloe Lin and Yan Qing Lee, and Junior Executive Gray Dibben for their ongoing dedication to the program and students at FCJ Refugee Centre.

A special shoutout to all our amazing teachers from this period: Vitta, Adrian, Ava, Natalie, Ale, Helen, Audrey, Eileen, Alethea, Emma, Yolanda, and Nathan. We also want to thank our volunteer Ayel Santos Vivares Martens for his commitment and support to the weekly Group Lessons.

To conclude another two great semesters of #MusicBox Private and Group Lessons offered through the amazing talents of volunteer teachers from the Toronto Chapter, we had our second annual recital, that was well attended by students, their families and this cohort of teachers!

There were 6 performances on the keyboard and 2 on the guitar. The evening was filled with joy and celebration, where parents got to witness the hard work their kids have been putting in over the past many weeks.
