"My name is Beny Esguerra and I am an Instrument of Change."
On a Sunday afternoon, a small group of young people from the North Side and the South Side of the Jane Finch community in Toronto gather in a studio to collaborate on original music - and you get to see it. Drop in to Wheel it Studios, Juried Artist Beny Esguerra's program that offers an alternative to street life for community youth.
Watch the video to learn how Beny used his training from the Musician Changemaker Accelerator (MCA) Academy to keep Wheel it Studios thriving for 6 years and counting.
This is the second video in our Instrument of Change series, putting a spotlight on the work of our Juried Artists and MCA Academy graduates across the country, and giving YOU a front row seat to see how Music to Life mobilizes musicians around the issues of our time. We invite you to listen to their stories, consider their impact in their communities, and support their development with a donation to Music to Life. Your generosity allows these artists to continue their important work of changing the world, one community at a time.
