NORFOLK, Va. — The local organization Soundscapes is working to raise awareness of music education during February with a giving campaign celebrating the leap year.
The "Leap for Soundscapes Initiative" started on Feb. 1 to garner support for Soundscapes' music education programs and performance opportunities for youth and young adults.
People and businesses are encouraged to take a picture or video of themselves “taking a leap" and share it on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #LeapforSoundscapes. People can also donate $29 to support the organization's initiative.
The initiative will be capped off by a concert at the Ferguson Center for the Arts featuring the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and the Peninsula Youth Orchestra. That will take place on Feb. 28 from 8 to 9 p.m.
