LAS VEGAS (August 18 , 2010) –Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow’s non-profit organization, the  Manilow Music Project, will put musical instruments into the hands of Clark County School District middle and high school students beginning  with a major donation this Fall.

and Hope and was formed in response to the needs of public schools and their severely depleted music programs, and works towards highlighting these programs. Additionally, MMP aids these programs in the form of donations of instruments and materials to further music education around the country.

A New Concert is on Manilow.TV! 
It's the beginning of the month, which means Barry has chosen a new, never-before-seen concert from his personal performance archives to post on Manilow.TV.
 
July's episode is the incredible 1.5 hour ONE NIGHT LIVE concert in Las Vegas in 2004.  ONE NIGHT LIVE blew the roof off the Mandalay Bay Arena with special appearances by Donna Summer and the cast of "Harmony," featuring Tony Award winner, Brian D'arcy
James.  As a special treat, Barry decided to add a few moments from his ONE NIGHT LIVE, ONE LAST TIME tour in July's episode as well.  First, he takes us back to his concert in Columbus, OH where he debuted the "matrix" jacket during "I Wanna Be Somebody's
Baby."  Those who were there remember it quite well, those who weren't...well tune in!  Finally, Barry also added another bonus song from his stop in Houston, TX. You won't want to miss his special performance of "Every Single Day."
