YOUR lets your love live on

Ask yourself . . .

What kind of legacy will I leave for the next generation?

Will the impact of my legacy grow or diminish over years and future generations?

Connie Fortunato

Founder and President Canticum Novum Music Camp International

As Music Camp International completes its "first generation" of twenty years, we want to build the foundation for generations to come.

Indeed, tomorrow - and the days ahead come at lightning speed. Planning for the future today will give you and your family the confidence that your influence will continue far into the future.

I look forward to working together with you to assist you in preparing a legacy that will grow throughout the following generations - magnifying your influence to your grandchildren and the youth of the 21st century.

Explore MCI's Legacy Packet and the various instruments that can make your legacy continue to grow over time and sustain the compelling causes that captured your devotion.

WHY NOW?

WHY MUSIC? • Music improves academic achievement, language skills, and ability to communicate; • Music improves a child's creativity, self-confidence, and sense of dignity; • Music can help heal children from trauma including the ravages of war and contribute to mental health; • Participating in ensemble music improves social development, helps overcome isolation and abandonment, and builds a strong positive community among youth.

Planning for the future today will give you and your family the confidence that your influence will live on for generations to come.

• Globally there is widespread depression and a mental health crisis for today's youth.

• The horrific war in Ukraine has traumatized hundreds of thousands of youth.

• Healing from the psychological and emotional scars will take years of intense therapy.

• Music can help facilitate healing and wholeness.

• Now is the time when countries and communities are opening their hearts and homes like never before. Global support is becoming a way of life for entire populations. Music builds connection, communication and compassion!
