Play It Forward Event at Jimmy's Old Town Tavern!

This May 7, The Council for the Arts of Herndon will again be teaming up with Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern to provide an evening of live music, great food and drinks, fantastic raffle prizes, and, of course, a wonderful cause.

The Play it Forward program is intended to provide good quality instruments for students who would otherwise not have been able to rent them. It was first proposed in 2013 by Laura Readyoff of The Music Loft, who was hearing from local music teachers who were concerned about losing frustrated young musicians whose resources could not cover the cost of purchasing or renting good quality instruments.

Ms. Readyoff proposed that the CAH fund a modest program to collect and refurbish used instruments that had been gathering dust in people’s closets and attics, in order to provide these young future musicians with such limited resources with the tools that would make practicing more joyful and effective.

Since then, this program has become an annual event, culminating with our celebratory fundraiser at Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern! We invite you to come on out and show your support, all while having a great time.
