Government Funding

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn and the Members of the NYC Council, who appropriate their own discretionary funding to Midori & Friends. These public funds have enabled Midori & Friends to provide New York City school children with musical services that otherwise would not have been possible. Special thanks also to Commissioner Kate D. Levin, Department of Cultural Aff airs, Honorable Jimmy Van Bramer, Cultural Aff airs Committee Chair, and Honorable Domenic Recchia, Finance Committee Chair, for their leadership in championing the arts in New York City. To these public funders, our legislative champions, we extend our heartfelt thanks.
