The Atlanta Music Project was recognized by local communities for our commitment to inspire social change by providing Atlanta’s underserved youth the opportunity to learn and perform music in orchestras and choirs. As this year’s “stellar performers” for the Community Forum’s Intelligent Initiative, AMP’s recently-popular string quartet captivates an audience at FanPlex Atlanta.

The purpose of the forum is to learn about community issues and resources, share progress on neighborhood efforts, and continue mobilizing NPU-V residents and stakeholders for collective action.

The NPU system was established in 1974 by Atlanta’s first black mayor, Maynard Holbrook Jackson. His aim was to ensure that citizens, particularly those who had been historically disenfranchised, would be in a position to comment on the structure of their communities.

Mayor Jackson had the NPU System placed within the City Charter, which can only be changed by the Georgia Legislature. That same section of the Charter also contains the Office of the Mayor as well as the Atlanta City Council.

On Wednesday October 18, 2017, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation announced the two winners of the 2017 Neighborhood Builders Award at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Downtown Atlanta. To close out the award ceremony, a string quartet of AMP’s young artists performed the Rondo from String Quartet No. 1 in G Major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. They received a rousing standing ovation from the crowd of 100-plus attendees.

The string quartet was composed of the following veteran AMP young artists: Donovan Fuller (violin, 8th year), Lailah Carter (violin, 6th year), Nyasjah Brooks (viola, 8th year), Danielle Liburd (cello, 6th year). Fuller and Liburd are finalists for the 2018 Georgia Music Educators All-State Orchestra.
