The ASCAP Foundation Congratulates Ginny Mancini

A rts leader, philanthropist, singer and dedicated ASCAP Foundation Board member, Ginny Mancini, was recently honored with the Distinguished Service Award from the Kaufman Cultural Center. Ginny’s role as a leader in charitable endeavors on behalf of music is wide-ranging and impressive. In 1984, she was co-founder of the Society of Singers, dedicated to the health, welfare and education of professional vocalists who fi nd themselves in need. In 1996, she helped establish the Henry Mancini Institute after the passing of her husband, Henry Mancini. Doz-ens of music education and cultural organizations have benefi ted from her support and activism in her home town of Los Angeles and across the country and she has continually offered her resources and expertise to benefi t the many programs and activi-ties of The ASCAP Foundation. We congratulate her on this well-deserved honor!

In Memoriam

We mourn the passing of Phoebe Jacobs, Executive Vice President of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation. Phoebe was a woman of many talents and a true friend of The ASCAP Foun-dation. Phoebe was a fi xture on the jazz scene since she began working as a hat check girl in a jazz nightclub at age 17 and she was dedicated to Louis and Lucille Armstrong. In 1969 she assisted in establish-ing the Louis Armstrong Edu-cational Foundation where she served as vice-president until her death on April 9, 2012. Always ready with an idea and an action plan, she was responsible for fostering programs at all school levels to promote music education – particularly in the fi eld of jazz. She was a lively friend and col-league and is sorely missed.

Pheobe Jacobs

showcasing the talent of contem-porary composers who are also per-formers.

NEA Awards Grant to The ASCAP Foundation

On April 25th, 2012 the National Endowment for the Arts announced the latest round of 2012 NEA funding which included a grant to The ASCAP Foundation to support the Summer Music Camp at Manhattan School of Music. This marks the 10th consecutive year that The ASCAP Foundation has received a grant, so we are very proud of this achievement.

The Summer Music Camp at Manhattan School of Music (MSM) provides intensive music in-struction to children ranging in age from 11 to 17 for voice majors in musical theater, and instrumental majors for large and small ensembles. Camp goals include increasing levels of music appreciation, knowledge, un-

ders tanding and perfor-mance skills based on the N a t i o n a l L e a r n i n g Standards for the Arts. This unique op-portunity goes beyond out-standing mu-

sical training. It instills discipline, positive social development, a respect for each other’s abili-ties and a lesson in teamwork.

The Summer Music Camp at MSM now includes a residential option for campers attending from afar. Camp dates are July 9th - August 3rd.
