The Mundi Project

Overview
Headquarters: 
Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Annual Budget : 
$100-500,000
Founded: 
2006
About Us
Mission: 

Enrich lives in our community through open access to pianos, music education, and innovative performance opportunities. Our vision is to inspire youth by creating open access to piano, music, and the arts.

Programs: 

The following programs demonstrate our values of creativity, youth, inspiration, music education, and integrity. 

PIANO BANK: Piano Bank is Utah’s only piano adoption program. We take in piano donations in need of minimal repair, and place them in new homes with families and public spaces that do not have the financial means to obtain a piano. To date, the Piano Bank has placed 179 instruments valued at over $325,000.

HARMONY HUB: Harmony Hub is our education arm. Located at the Sorensen Multi-Cultural Center and Sorenson Unity Center, Harmony Hubs are piano / music classrooms, designed to provide free music education to low-income populations in the Salt Lake area. Harmony Hubs are dedicated, safe environments where youth and families can explore music and the arts through a variety of expert-led piano and music education activities, all of which promote the holistic development of each individual. Harmony Hub has also recently expanded to include a partnership with Utah Classical Guitar Society to teach guitar. 

MUNDI LIVE: Our Mundi Live concerts introduce diverse audiences to classical piano literature and various musical genres through FREE concerts held for the general public. Also as a part of Mundi Live programs is Impulse: a collaboration with local art studios to create visual art while simultaneously enjoying live music.

The success of Mundi Live is due in large part to Mundi Ambassadors, children and youth who share their love of music and introduce diverse audiences to the world of piano with performances throughout the community. Opportunities for these volunteer musical ambassadors include performance at Mundi Live concerts and community outreach events, as well as mentorships to low-income beginning piano students.

Why Work For Us?: 

The Mundi Project is a grassroots organization. As we are a small organization, we need visionary leadership and community support to help us achieve our mission. We devote every effort to provide youth access to pianos and music education. We believe that every child should have the chance to get into the music world. Thank you for considering how your employment with the Mundi Project makes a difference and helps more children achieve their music dreams.
