Leave a reply

On April 11, 2015, Mike Peters of The Alarm will appear in a benefit concert for the Fender Center for the Performing Arts! The excitement will kick off with a magical opening act of the Kids Rock Free® School of Music’s own kids rock band.

VIP tickets include preferred seating in the first six rows, an invitation to a pre-concert reception in the KRF Studio for the Artist Meet & Greet. There will be a complimentary cheese & fruit plate, no-host bar & sandwich plate for sale. Arrive early for a Master Class with Mike Peters (FREE to all Kids Rock Free® Families) in the Historic Civic Center Community Room which will be transformed into the KRF Canteen with a no-host bar & sandwich plate for sale.

The VIP reception and the KRF Canteen open at 6:30 p.m. Mike Peters has played acoustic guitar all his musical life and the sound of the instrument has been at the core of all his work from the very beginnings of The Alarm to the present day. Mike will talk about his life experiences and if there are musicians in the crowd, he’ll wind up the Master Class with a jam session. Tickets for Master Class and Concert are sold separately or with a package discount. With prices this low, you can’t afford to miss this live show of this talented artist.

Mike Peters is known primarily as frontman of the internationally acclaimed Welsh band The Alarm and more recently as guest vocalist for celt-rockers Big Country. Mike is also an inspirational solo acoustic performer and (as a two times cancer survivor), founder of what is now regarded as the world’s leading rock and roll cancer charity ‘Love Hope Strength Foundation’.

Special thanks to all the volunteers that came out day after day to get ready for the big move. And even more thanks to those who helped us lug our offices from Main Street to Sixth. A special shout out to the Salash Family, Lucy, students Megan (drums) and father Jeff (adult guitar), and even Grandpa Vic. We couldn’t have done it without you! You rock!

Thank You D’Addario Foundation!

Fender^® Center for the Performing Arts is pleased to announce that the D’Addario Foundation has chosen Kids Rock Free^® as the beneficiary of a $1,500 grant to support music education!

Our program has currently enrolled more than six hundred students for the summer and fall sessions, and is starting with full classes this winter. Music ed is a fantastic after-school activity, particularly at a time when elementary and high schools have cut so many of their arts programs.

This donation will help us to develop new artists and promote arts & culture within Corona and Riverside County. We are so grateful to The D’Addario Foundation for supporting music lessons. Here at KRF, we believe that learning music is the key to unlocking a whole world of opportunity for freedom of expression. Music is more than a skill; it is engagement with a creative environment and an immersion into the arts.
