We are excited to welcome Adrianne Palicki as our event host this year. You may have seen her in Friday Night Lights, Agents of Shield, or most recently, on Hulu’s The Orville.
Three years ago, Choir 51 landed in the Unites States excited for their tour in 2020. Two weeks later, the world shut down and they sheltered at our US base for five months before returning to Uganda. They are thrilled to finally get the tour and will be headlining Africa Rocks Austin.
Music for Life and the African Children’s Choir were founded in 1984. We have educated more than 53,000 children across Africa. All proceeds from the Africa Rocks Austin Gala will benefit Music for Life in our education and relief and development programs in East Africa. Music for Life educates the choir children through university or technical training. Focusing on a wholistic approach in education, that includes mentorship and life skills. This has been a proven model for nearly 40 years with a powerful ripple effect, impacting the lives of families and entire communities. Music for Life has been able to raise children out of poverty who now, in turn, help the next generation.
