“True music must repeat the thought
and inspirations of the people and time.
My people are Americans. My time is today.”

Through free youth educational programs, live performances, concerts, exhibitions, mentorships, and scholarships, GLP fosters a deep appreciation for the Gershwins’ contributions to American music, arts, and culture.
