Violins for Peace a safe haven for learning─── 09:00 Thu, 11 Jan 2024
Violins for Peace aims to ensure their music programme aimed at young adults in the community of Bloemfontein, not only provides them with valuable life-skills but also provides a platform of growth and fellowship.
Project Curator, Sharon de Kock, joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat to talk about the privilege of investing time and passion in the youth of the Free State. She also explains what some of their needs are and how the community can assist them in expanding the project.
Violins for Peace consists of four violin teachers who volunteer their time and knowledge to the children and young adults at St Patrick’s Church, Bloemfontein. These music sessions provide a positive outlet for the youth, create a safe space, and foster trust among the students.
The programme provides opportunities for the students to attend professional rehearsals and concerts.
