The Kenmore Village Improvement Society (KVIS) is an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit group. Each summer we present a free Children’s Concert Series. We strive to provide interesting and varied music in each Series, ensuring that we have music from different eras, of different styles and ethnicities. We also work to have as much gender balance as possible among the performers, showing the children that music making is for everyone.
This is where we have run into a problem -it is very challenging to achieve gender balance for the Concert Series because so many area bands are made up primarily of men. We have launched a ‘More Female Bands’ campaign to encourage more girls and women to form and join a band. The campaign features a contest that will take place next year around this time. The contest will award cash prizes to the top three all-female bands and is open to all female bands playing any style of music with band members of any age. How you can help:

Save the Bees WNYBee colonies have declined drastically in recent years. Without bees and other pollinators, humanity can not survive because there won't be enough food. You can help save the bees by taking the pledge and becoming a Bee Ambassador. Sign up today and learn more about what we all can do to help save bees and other pollinators.
