SCHUMER SECURES $1.4 MILLION FOR ISAAC STERN EDUCATION LEGACY AT CARNEGIE HALL

Funding included in the FY05 Omnibus Appropriations bill

The funding will be used to aid in establishing music educational programs for students

US Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced that Congress will pass the FY2005 Omnibus Appropriations bill which included $1.4 for a newly established curriculum and expanded resources available for music education programs. The funding was included in the Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations portion of the bill. The bill now heads to the President for his signature.

"Carnegie Hall is known throughout the world for its great arts and music. This program is going to bring that level of excellence to a new generation of musicians," Schumer said. "Music is still a critical part of our children's education and it just seems fitting to carry on this wonderful program in the name of the great Isaac Stern."
