EVENTS

EcoEcho is honored to host a special benefit concert in support of the Salama School for the Blind in Uganda. This event will raise funds to enhance music education and accessibility for visually impaired students. We are thrilled to welcome the school’s director and staff as our special guests, joining us in celebration of global partnership, inclusion, and the power of music to bridge communities across continents.

On June 30th, EcoEcho hosted its inaugural Benefit Gala Concert, uniting young musicians, supporters, and community members for an inspiring evening dedicated to music and equity.

Through heartfelt performances and shared purpose, we successfully raised $10,200 to support the Salama School for the Blind in Uganda. These funds will help build a dedicated music venue, creating new opportunities for visually impaired students to explore and enjoy the power of music.

As our first major fundraising event, the gala was a powerful reflection of EcoEcho’s mission—to echo music beyond barriers and empower lives through creativity, inclusion, and global connection.

Eligibility: Open to middle and high school students. Candidates must have at least one year of private instrumental/vocal instruction and are expected to continue private lessons while in the orchestra. Ensemble experience (such as school band or orchestra) is preferred, but not required.

Audition Requirements: Solo piece- Candidates must submit a solo piece that represents both technical and expressive playing.

EcoEcho Foundation is thrilled to announce the success of our inaugural charity concert, made possible by the incredible partnership with Fernweh. We are deeply grateful to Fernweh for offering their time and talent, as 18 professional musicians performed pro bono to support a cause close to our hearts.

The concert not only showcased extraordinary musical talent but also served as a platform to introduce our mission and vision. With the generous support of our audience, we are proud to announce that the proceeds from ticket sales, totaling $7,000, will go directly toward building a music theater at the Blind School in Uganda.

With 150 attendees, the event was a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together for a shared purpose. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to this meaningful cause. Your support is truly making a difference.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us and for helping us take this first step toward making a lasting change in the lives of those who need it most.
