The investment strengthens ABYSO\u2019s youth music\u00a0programme, expanding opportunities for young performers while advancing music education and creative arts development across Antigua and Barbuda.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are committed to nurturing Caribbean youth through the creative arts.<\/p>

Music is not only a powerful tool for personal development but also as a thriving cultural industry capable of generating livelihoods, expanding national\u00a0economies\u00a0and elevating the region\u2019s voice on the global stage,\u201d says Heidi Clarke, Executive Director at the Sandals Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cToday\u2019s students are tomorrow\u2019s composers, producers, educators and global performers carrying Caribbean culture onto the world stage.\u201d. By investing in programmes like ABYSO, we are helping young musicians refine their talent, build confidence and see viable futures within the creative industries.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through weekly lessons, rehearsals and performance opportunities, ABYSO provides young people with mentorship and structured training in orchestral music while fostering discipline, teamwork and creative expression. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sustainability of the ABYSO is dependent on the support of corporate partners and donors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘This donation of instruments from the Sandals Foundation has not only\u00a0impacted\u00a0our musician\u2019s ability to continue their training, but it has\u00a0provided\u00a0us the opportunity to continue our outreach program in several schools in Antigua and on the sister isle of Barbuda. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being able to\u00a0provide\u00a0these opportunities\u00a0directly link\u00a0to our vision of\u00a0maintaining\u00a0a sustainable and inclusive\u00a0programme\u00a0where any young person with an interest in learning, the instruments can do so\u201d,\u00a0Managing Director of ABYSO Claudine Benjamin shared.\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With\u00a0the new instruments now in hand, the\u00a0programme\u00a0will deepen its engagement with schools, introducing students at\u00a0Pigotts\u00a0Primary, Potters Primary and Holy Trinity School in Barbuda to introductory instrument instruction while creating pathways for emerging musicians to progress into ABYSO\u2019s junior and youth orchestra\u00a0programmes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative also includes a teacher- training\u00a0component\u00a0aimed at strengthening the capacity of music instructors, ensuring that orchestral\u00a0music\u00a0education\u00a0can\u00a0continue\u00a0to\u00a0grow\u00a0sustainably\u00a0across\u00a0the\u00a0island.\u00a0Together,\u00a0these\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

engagements expand the reach of music education while cultivating a vibrant pipeline of future Caribbean musicians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\u00a0McKuelan\u00a0Morris, percussion coordinator within\u00a0ABYSO\u00a0he shared, \u201cThe percussion instruments we received were not only\u00a0timely\u00a0but\u00a0greatly welcomed\u00a0additions to our percussion section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we continue to develop our young\u00a0musicians\u00a0the complexity of the music deepens. Having\u00a0these\u00a0instruments\u00a0at\u00a0our\u00a0disposal\u00a0now\u00a0allows\u00a0us\u00a0to\u00a0strengthen\u00a0the\u00a0depth\u00a0of\u00a0our\u00a0sound\u00a0with the rest of the orchestra while giving the opportunity to the percussionists to learn several percussion instruments simultaneously and for this we are immensely grateful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sandals Foundation has long championed youth engagement through music across the Caribbean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Bahamas, its support has strengthened programs such as the Exuma Community Youth Band and the LN Coakley Music\u00a0Programme\u00a0in Exuma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jamaica, the Foundation has supported the Skyliner Marching Band, delivered specialized brass music education workshops with Sam Sharpe Teachers\u2019 College, and invested in the island\u2019s renowned Alpha School of Music\u2014collectively nurturing the next generation of Caribbean musicians and preserving the region\u2019s rich musical heritage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
