Barry Manilow Announces His Music Teacher Award to be Presented at His Winter Arena Tour ‘Manilow: Hits 2023’ at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on January 19th

Music icon Barry Manilow has announced Adam Brooks of North Atlanta High School has won The Manilow Music Project Music Teacher Award in Atlanta.

The Grammy award winner previously announced a one-night-only concert set for Thursday, January 19th, at Atlanta’s award-winning State Farm Arena.

The Atlanta School Board and State Farm Arena participated in the contest by suggesting schools and teachers in their area that they want to be considered for this award. In each city, the winning teacher will receive 5K cash award and another 5K in “Manilow bucks” presented by Barry Manilow to purchase musical instruments for their school’s music program. The winner will also receive VIP tickets to the concert. Adam Brooks of North Atlanta High School will meet Manilow at the show on January 19th for the award presentation.

“It is wonderful to partner with our concert venues to identify schools and music teachers in their neighborhoods that deserve this small token of my gratitude, said Manilow. “Many school music programs have either been terminated, or their funds have been severely depleted. I always want to do my part through The Manilow Music Project to keep music in schools.”

The Manilow Music Project has given away over ten million dollars’ worth of funds and music instrument donations.
