Students from each school's dance, choir and band classes will be performing with VanMarter Project on stage during each concert event.

VanMarter Project will be visiting the Salt Lake City, Utah area to initialize this effort. During their week long visit, they will appear on the ABC 4 Good Things Utah and Park City TV Mountain Views shows to discuss their campaign.

Members of VanMarter Project will visit classrooms to speak with students about the positive influence of music, the impact on their education, and most importantly, never giving up on their dreams. As an Empty Vessel Affiliate Artist, VanMarter Project will also be representing the Music Matters Project which receives donations and musical instruments to provide music education, music appreciation, and intervention for youth ages 6-18 in underserved and at-risk urban areas in America. "It's all in vain if the only thing we have done is create 'good music' without impacting the heart and soul of humanity" quotes Gerry Van Mansfeld, Executive Director of Empty Vessel Music www.emptyvessel.org.
