All organizations participating in the performance are beneficiaries of grants from the Jason Mraz Foundation, whose mission it is to shine for inclusive arts education and the advancement of equality. Students of all abilities and backgrounds from the following programs will perform songs from Mraz’s catalog along with the GRAMMY-Award winning musician/songwriter and recent runner-up on “Dancing With The Stars”: ● A Step Beyond Dancers ● Banding Together ● Diversionary Theatre ● Monarch Dance ● San Diego Young Artist Music Academy ● Tap Fever Studios ● Tierra Caliente Academy of Arts ● Wheelchair Dancers “Over the past few months, I pushed myself creatively, and physically more than I have in decades,” said Mraz, referencing his “Dancing With The Stars” run. “I revisited what it was like to be a beginner in the performing arts, to immerse myself in something completely new, finding strength, joy, self-acceptance, and pride as I learned and grew every week. That is the power of the performing arts, and that is the opportunity I want to share with these students as we rehearse for this collaborative concert experience.” More information on the Jason Mraz Foundation: https://jasonmraz.com/foundation/ https://www.instagram.com/jasonmrazfoundation/ https://www.facebook.com/JasonMrazFoundation/ https://twitter.com/jasonmrazfdn?lang=en
