The Atlanta Music Project (AMP) has served Atlanta's young musicians for over 10 years through offering intensive, tuition-free music education right in underserved neighborhoods. As the spread of the coronavirus continues to challenge us all, AMP has offered consistent programming for young musicians: keeping them connected to their support systems, bringing routine and normalcy to their lives, and facilitating continuous learning and advancement.

Over the past year, the Atlanta Music Project has served more than 350 Atlanta area youth and quickly adapted programming to our new virtually-led world. Our contribution to Atlanta youth development never waivers, and in trying times like these our contribution as an anchor institution with trust and deep relationships in our community is more important than ever. And, when we emerge from this health crisis and face the social and economic challenges that await, we will work together to build a stronger community. 

Founded in 2010, the Atlanta Music Project provides more than 5,000 hours annually, of intensive, tuition-free music education for underserved youth right in their neighborhood. Now serving over 300 students through eight programs, AMP provides all its students with an instrument, a Teaching Artist, and classes in band, orchestra, and choir. In addition to four after-school learning sites, AMP's programs include: the AMP Academy, providing advanced musical training to AMP’s most talented and dedicated students; the AMP Summer Series, a music festival and school; and the AMP Youth Choirs & Orchestras. In May 2019, AMP opened its first headquarters space: the Atlanta Music Project Center for Performance & Education.

AMP music ensembles perform more than 50 concerts annually, performing in venues all across Atlanta, from community centers to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. AMP music ensembles have performed alongside international stars such as the Harlem Quartet, electric violinist Lindsey Stirling, pianist Terrence Wilson, soprano Alison Buchanan, and R&B singer Monica. AMP musicians can be seen performing with rapper T.I. on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. AMP's young musicians have successfully auditioned for Georgia All-State ensembles, the Atlanta Opera, and have concertized as far away as Aspen, Los Angeles, Mexico, and Scotland.

AMP is a 2018 winner of Emory University's Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award. In 2016 and 2017 the White House named AMP one of the top 50 after-school arts programs in the nation.
