The Santa Rosa de Cerritos band is a fabulous initiative that gives youth in a rural area of Ecuador the opportunity to celebrate their culture, excel in music, and strengthen their community. Keys of Change is doing a fabulous job with the project. I live close to Santa Rosa de Cerritos and can attest to the project's success. 

This organization is such a valuable asset. They work they do has changed lives and enriched mine immensely! Thank you!

I do not Know if music can change the world but surely it can change the lives for those young people who come in contact with the miracle of MUSIC.

Every thing Panos does is always for others in need & mostly children all over the world....I LOVE Panos ❤️❤️❤️His American mum, Cynnie 

I respect Panos and his wonderful efforts, and the match from every.org helps so much to increase the effect of my contribution.

Bringing music across the planet to those who need it most. Can music change the world? We believe it can.

Keys of Change is a charity formed by individuals who deeply believe that playing music can make this world a better place. Keys of Change aims to advance the lives of children and young people around the world through musical education and access to live classical music performances. The charity was set up in early 2011 by the international concert pianist Panos Karan, who works with three other trustees, all involved in music and/or education, and a growing number of committed volunteers in many countries.  ​ Over the past years, Keys of Change has brought classical music, often for the first time, to deprived or suffering audiences, in remote areas of the Amazon basin, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Kolkata and the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima area in Japan, as well as in Greece, Russia and London. Our music has brought alive emotions - fascination, happiness, tears of sadness – and generated hope and encouragement.  Wherever we go to perform, we also set up and fund musical education projects, working in conjunction with local music teachers. In Ecuador, we organise weekly guitar lessons for young people from deprived backgrounds. In Uganda and Sierra Leone, we have provided instruments and music lessons. In Fukushima and India, we have made regular visits to work with young musicians to improve their playing, and give them the opportunity to perform in joint concerts with Keys of Change musicians. In the case of Fukushima this culminated in the founding of the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta, and organising for up to 50 young Japanese musicians to travel to London, to give a concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in April 2014, to Tokyo, performing at Tokyo Opera City in August 2015, and Symphony Hall, Boston, in April 2016.
