ABOUT
Looking at the Stars Foundation is a Canadian registered federal charity (Registration No. 77958 5298 RR0001).
We support classical music and professional classical musicians, who GIFT classical music to those, who need it most and expect it least - residents of long term care institutions and inmates of correctional institutions.
Our Inspirational Gift is a free-of-charge 90 minute interactive classical music concert (Event), presented by a professional artists. We are not entertaining - we are creating an environment of dignity and distraction, enabling listeners to self reflect, heal and create hope about the future:
ACCOMPLISHED
Since our inception in late December 2015 we have organized and delivered 49 such Events to over 1500 residents of long term care institutions and over 3500 inmates of federal correctional institutions across Canada:
- On October 11, 2019 CBC's Sunday Edition with Michael Enright made a historic recording of our classical music concert in Millhaven Maximum Security Institution and then broadcasted it to its 1.5M audience on November 10, 2019:
- In November 2019 The TSO Chamber Soloists gifted us two prison concerts performing Vivaldi's Four Seasons to inmates in Collins Bay and Warkworth federal institutions.
- In January 2019 we received an official endorsement from Anne Kelly, Commissioner of Correctional Services Canada.
- Most recently, following a historic prison performance in Abbotsford, BC , an eminent world violinist Gidon Kremer has become our Honorary Chairman. Here's a 4 minute CBC coverage of this historic concert:
The results have exceeded our expectations and are encouraging. We are breaking the wall, separating us from impaired and imprisoned and creating a healthier and more positive social climate.
