Description

Music Will’s Annual Benefit, hosted on April 9, 2025, at Gotham Hall, NYC, is an unforgettable evening of performances by some of the most talented musicians and performers in the industry while being part of our mission to transform music education in our nation’s schools.

It is a celebration of the transformative power of music and its ability to change lives as we look ahead to reaching millions of students annually through our programs in the years to come. The honored artists partner with Music Will to launch 10 new modern band programs across the country in their name. 

This year, Music Will will honor three-time Grammy Award-winning and Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated performing artist, producer, and composer Wyclef Jean. His work as both a solo artist and guiding member of the Fugees has made him a consistently powerful, pop cultural force for over two decades. Since the highly influential 1996 Fugees album The Score, Wyclef has released eight solo albums selling nearly nine million copies worldwide, including his 1997 debut The Carnival.

Further artist Honorees and performers for Music Will’s 2025 benefit will be announced at a later date. Previous Music Will honorees and performers include: Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Run-D.M.C.’s Darry McDaniels, Bonnie Raitt, Smokey Robinson, Joan Jett and Usher, among others.
