Founded in May 2019, the Beracah Music Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that operates the Beracah Youth Orchestra, composed of Korean-American next-generation youth. The orchestra members actively participate in various musical volunteer activities, sharing their talents with the local community and forming meaningful relationships while growing together. The foundation also aspires to promote K-Classic beyond Korea and the local community, sharing the healing and communicative power of music by embracing the unique characteristics of diverse musical cultures around the world.
Rooted in Christian values, the Beracah Music Foundation seeks to view the world through the lens of the Gospel and aims to make a positive impact through music. We guide our youth in developing both character and spiritual maturity, helping them grow within God's purpose through musical experience and service.We face the world not by our own strength, but through the Gospel and music, fully relying on God. We praise His works and dedicate our hearts to His ministry. We believe that as we walk with Him, we will enjoy His blessings and experience the spiritual victory He gives.
We hope that all the activities of the Beracah Music Foundation will serve as a channel of God’s blessing, and we look forward to the continued growth and development of the Beracah Youth Orchestra.
