On Saturday, May 13, Music Changing Lives put on an incredible night of student performances at the 6th annual Changing Lives Showcase.

Guests enjoyed an evening filled with fantastic vocal, instrumental and dance performances, a remarkable display of beautiful artworks, great food and more. 

The Showcase, which was held at the Moreno Valley Conference Center, featured talented students from Moreno Valley Unified who have spent the past 21 weeks working tirelessly to perfect their performance. The goal was to see  ‘Who is the Best at Music and Art.’ 

The Showcase was no ordinary school competition. The event rolled out the red carpet for its performers, who were judged by celebrity guests from the EDMHipHopRebels group ZupaNova.

Music Changing Lives, (MCL) created the Showcase six years ago for youth in Moreno Valley, and since then they have produced several accomplished musicians, artists, fashion designers and more.  The program was designed to ignite passion through performance by using music and art as a motivation for students to stay focused on their education and their future.

The Showcase was sponsored by Moreno Valley Unified School District, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Edison International, Wells Fargo Foundation, Niagara Cares Foundation, Kaiser Family Foundation and more.  Visit MusicChangingLives.org today to learn more.

For more information about Music Changing Lives, please contact Josiah Bruny at MusicChangingLives@gmail.com or call 951-992-0721.  You can also visit them on the web at www.musicchanginglives.org. 

The mission of Music Changing Lives (MCL) is to offer the highest quality of music and art enrichment programs to underprivileged and at-risk youth between the ages of 5-19 years old, helping them improve their chances of achieving a positive and successful future.
