Boko, Feb 21: BookMyShow Foundation has unveiled BookAChange, an impact-driven initiative dedicated to transform lives through music and performing arts.
BookAChange aims to provide underprivileged individuals and communities across India with access to music education and artistic opportunities.
BookAChange is set to provide 500 music scholarships for talented individuals from marginalized backgrounds. These scholarships will support students and street artists pursuing education in music disciplines such as instrumental, vocals, audio production, songwriting, and the business of music at accredited institutions.
BookAChange recently took 25 beneficiaries, comprising 20 students and 5 music educators, on a transformative journey to Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour in Mumbai, marking a life-changing first for many.
Integrated with the BookMyShow platform, BookAChange harnesses the collective spirit of millions of entertainment enthusiasts to drive meaningful change. With each ticket purchase, starting from donating just Re. 1/-, consumers are invited to be a part of something bigger – fueling a movement that touches lives through music. Direct contributions, beyond these micro-donations, are also welcomed.
Speaking about the launch of BookAChange, Farzana Cama Balpande, Head – BookAChange, said, “BookAChange marks the beginning of a new chapter where our commitment to make a difference through the arts deepens and expands. We aim to amplify our impact by nurturing dreams, bridging gaps and creating inclusive access where everyone has the chance to flourish. We want to democratise access to music and the performing arts, empower marginalised individuals and communities and inspire the next generation of industry trailblazers. Our journey ahead is not just about the arts; it’s about inspiration, collaboration and a relentless pursuit of a brighter world for all.”
