What a magical night! ✨

For five incredible years, Josh Groban and the Find Your Light Foundation have supported AFA’s mission and helped us bring the power of music to the Houston community we’re so proud to call home.

We were honored to join them for the Houston stop of the Stage, Screen, and Symphony Tour alongside some of our wonderful partners The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Segundo Barrio Children's Chorus and Houston Symphony and some of our students.

Thank you for continuing to believe in our young musicians, our programs, and the impact music can make. 🎼

✨ Throwback to the roots of AFA ✨

Since 1993, AFA has been breaking down barriers in music education—creating a space where creativity, individuality, and collaboration thrive.

For more than three decades, we’ve inspired thousands of Houstonians through music, evolving to meet the needs of our community while staying true to our mission: to ensure that every young person has access to meaningful arts education and experiences 💫

Here’s to the memories that shaped us—and to the future we continue to build through music 🎶
