The African Children's Choir is BACK in Austin on December 3rd. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Africa Rocks Austin Gala is an annual event that raises funds and awareness for the African Children's Choir. The Choir is a program of a larger international organization called Music for Life, which provides thousands of impoverished children with education, discipleship, and leadership skills, with a ripple effect that continues to change communities and the next generation of emerging African leaders.

We are excited to welcome back our special host ADRIANNE PALICKI (Friday Night Lights, The Orville, Agents of Shield) and long time friend of the African Children's Choir.

Music for Life's mission is to help Africa's most vulnerable children today, so they can help Africa tomorrow. The children in the choir represent the potential of thousands who are trapped in the cycle of poverty.

Your generosity gives these children a quality education, fosters creativity and mentorship, and prepares them for success in all aspects of life.

Please join us for a fantastic night of food, song and dance with an exclusive performance by the African Children's Choir and other special guests.
