Youth Japan Trip
Stas Venglevski Youth Accordion Ensemble had a successful trip to Hadano Japan in June 2024 and performed a concert there. The youth ensemble members participated in rehearsals with local musicians, workshops, private lessons, and concert performances under the direction of Stas Venglevski. Additionally they had a chance to experience Japanese culture and made many new friends.
Your donations helped StasVenglevski Music Foundation to make this event possible for these young artists and helped create a lifetime of memories and continues to generate a positive atmosphere for the appreciation of great accordion music. We greatly appreciate your generous support of our foundation.
Our Goal was $50,000. 00.
We reached to $46,439.21 (total of PayPal, GoFundMe, cash and checks) on June 2024.
Thank you very much for your support!!!
