The Coalition for Music Education in Canada, in partnership with Business for the Arts and the Royal Conservatory of Music, is proud to present a very special benefit evening in support of music education.

Sir Ken Robinson takes the stage to share his passion and arguments for transforming the culture of education through a richer vision of human ability and creativity. Join us in an evening rich in inspiration. Celebrated artists will add their magic to the evening with special musical performances from jazz saxaphonist/flautist Jane Bunnett, 21-year old piano prodigy Alexander Seredenko, 12 year old violinist Bora Kim, singer/songwriters Dala along with students from Unionville High School. Jim Fleck, O.C., Chairman of Business for the Arts (BftA) and winner of the 2009 Governor General’s Award for Performing Arts will be the evening MC. Ticket price includes a copy of Sir Ken Robinson’s new book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything.
