Last week, COAF’s 15th Annual Summer Soirée brought together an incredible community of friends, partners, and supporters in New York City. Against a backdrop of cocktails, jazz, and skyline views, we united around a shared mission: bringing music education to Armenia’s rural youth.

Each year, our Summer Soirée offers COAF’s community a chance to gather around a transformative cause—from supporting AI education at SMART (raising over $70K last year) to this year’s mission centering on music programs for rural students.

Together, you helped us raise $90,000 in support of COAF’s music education programs at the SMART Center in Lori, which serves over 30 rural communities with free access to lessons where they can learn new instruments, study music production, and more.
