Description
The Rockit Live Foundation is thrilled to announce a special 20th Anniversary Celebration, marking two decades of fostering exceptional young musical talent. The Rockit Academy has been a cornerstone of music education, nurturing the talents of over 1,900 aspiring young musicians and guiding them on their artistic journeys. This anniversary celebration promises to be a memorable occasion, featuring captivating performances by talented Rockit Academy alumni, appearances from special guest stars, and a vibrant showcase of the incredible musical abilities cultivated within the program over the years. The event will bring together the entire Rockit community – past students, current participants, families, and supporters – to commemorate this significant milestone. This special celebration will not only showcase the incredible talent nurtured at Rockit Academy over the past two decades but will also serve as a crucial fundraiser for our vital scholarship program. Our scholarships ensure that passionate young musicians, regardless of their financial background, have the opportunity to access our transformative music education. The Rockit Academy is New Jersey’s #1 Live Music Education school for young musicians. The Rockit Live Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to help develop, nurture, and inspire young musicians to reach their full artistic potential through music education offered in partnership with Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, NJ.

The Rockit Academy have performed such classics as Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Woodstock, Who’s Next and many more. Rockit Advisory Board members, Stevie & Maureen Van Zandt, Eddie Brigati, Carmine Appice, Ricky Byrd, Rich Russo, Mark Weiss and Steve Lacey lend their talent and support to a cause they keep close to their hearts.
