"A Night on the Hudson" Cocktail Fundraiser for United Children's Music Project

United Children's Music Project (UCMP) is thrilled to announce that Paquito D'Rivera and Brenda Feliciano will be its distinguished honorees for its cocktail fundraising event, “A NIGHT ON THE HUDSON”  on Wed., Nov. 29th at 7 pm at Weehawken’s Chart House (1700 Harbor Boulevard).

Help UCMP celebrate “eleven years and counting” of transforming our Hudson County kids through music, while enjoying an evening of live music overlooking Manhattan’s glittering skyline. Savor delicious hors d’oeuvres and drinks as we listen to UCMP’s own Chamber Orchestra plus surprise performances by special musical guests!

For more than a decade, UCMP has changed the lives of underserved local children and youth from preschool through high school. We provide access to intensive, low-cost after-school orchestral and choral music education, free instruments, and performance opportunities in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. 

Learning music and performing with others is a profound way for children to experience the joy of creativity, develop self-discipline, learn collaboration, and build community. Even more, music education improves grades, increases high school graduation, and paves the way to college and better jobs.

Now more than ever, Hudson County kids need a place to feel safe, express themselves, connect with others, rebuild their self-confidence, and gain skills that will serve them a lifetime. They need a place like UCMP.
