Barry Manilow will perform at Chesapeake Energy Arena on June 9. Get two free tickets by donating a new or gently used instrument to Oklahoma City Public Schools' instrument drive. Donations will be accepted through the day of the concert at the arena box office.
Singer/Songwriter Barry Manilow is helping launch a local instrument drive with the donation of a new Yamaha piano. The public is encouraged to donate new or gently used instruments and for each donation, people will receive two free tickets to Manilow’s June 9 concert at Chesapeake Energy Arena in downtown Oklahoma City.
“It’s an honor to be able to help give these kids the gift of music,” Manilow said in a press release.
Donated instruments can be dropped off at Chesapeake Energy Arena Box Office between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Deadline for donations is the day of the show.
Manilow’s donation is through his Manilow Music Project, a venture of The Manilow Fund for Health and Hope, a grass roots organization that helps local charities and programs by providing instruments to schools and music scholarships at universities in the U.S., Canada and U.K.
“We are overjoyed that Mr. Manilow is so gracious and kind and that musical instruments will be donated to our district,” said Karl Springer, superintendant of Oklahoma City Public Schools, in a press release. “No words can thank you loudly enough!”
