Why: Charity event benefiting Wolf Trap’s local and national Education Programs, including the Wolf Trap Opera Company and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts. In classrooms across the country and around the world, the Institute offers teachers innovative and creative ways to teach, while providing children with engaging ways to learn. Founded in 1981, the Institute offers a variety of services including classroom residencies in primarily disadvantaged areas; distance learning opportunities; keynote presentations; professional development workshops; and family workshops to children 0-5 years old and their teachers and parents. The Institute serves more than 50,000 teachers and children annually. Since its inception, it has reached more than two million children with the use of performing arts techniques to teach basic academic concepts as well as life skills. The Institute has 16 regional programs across the country and its programs have served communities in 45 states and 10 foreign countries. Funds raised will also go to support Wolf Trap’s Master Classes, internships, scholarships for performing arts teachers, and the many education programs offered at the Center for Education at Wolf Trap.
