Barry Manilow Brings The Manilow Music Project to Long Island

Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow is "hitting the road" ONE LAST TIME! and hopes others will follow his philanthropic lead as he donates a Yamaha piano to launch a local instrument drive during his ONE LAST TIME! Tour for the Uniondale School District. Anyone who donates a new or gently used musical instrument to Nassau Coliseum Box Office will receive two free tickets (valid for pre-selected seat locations) for Manilow's March 27 concert in Uniondale, NY.

"I know firsthand how invaluable music education is," said Manilow. "It is a privilege for me to help bring the gift of music to these kids," he continued.

Nassau Coliseum Box Office will be the base for the instrument drive in Uniondale, from now through March 27, 2015. The instrument drop off location at the Nassau Coliseum Box Office is open between

Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:45pm.

"Music education is and has always been essential in the development of our students. It is proven
to be beneficial to building character and promoting academic success. On behalf of the
Uniondale School community, we are honored to receive such a gracious gift from Mr. Barry
Manilow and we applaud the Manilow Music Project for the support they've shown for public school education," said Dr. William K. Lloyd, Superintendent of Uniondale School District.

The Manilow Music Project (MMP) is part of The Manilow Fund for Health and Hope. Its primary focus is to provide musical instruments to high schools and middle schools and to provide music scholarships at universities throughout the US, Canada, and the UK. More information on the Manilow Music Project can be found at www.manilowmusicproject.org.

Tickets for Manilow's ONE LAST TIME! concert are available online at Manilow.com or ticketmaster.com, in person at the Nassau Coliseum Box Office, or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
