“Before I attended my first Kids Helping Kids concert, I expected a grit-your-teeth and force-a-smile childrens’ recital. I was so wrong! I have laughed and cheered throughout every concert. This is performance and entertainment that any adult would enjoy.”

“Although I had been told that this concert was quite impressive with 10 pianos on stage all being played at once, I had not imagined it to be as wonderful as it was. It is very impressive to see how much responsibility the students themselves take for running the event and the results are extremely professional and enjoyable. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys piano music.”

"Playing the piano has always been a passion of mine. But the Kids Helping Kids concerts have brought a deeper level of meaning to piano and music. There's so much more to the music-there's a sense of accomplishment and unity in playing as one voice, there's a sense of joy and excitement in playing those exuberant pieces, but most of all, there's that satisfying feeling of goodness that comes from knowing that all this is benefiting others."

"It's just like synchronized swimming,
except drier and with pianos."

Join us for a unique musical experience. Can you imagine ten grand pianos on the stage, all being played together? Very talented young musicians, ages 4 to 24, play in amazing synchrony and also perform solos. And the event includes a silent auction with all proceeds benefiting families in need in San Jose through Sunday Friends.

Students of the Judy Wely Piano Studio will, once again, stage this concert to display their talents while they raise funds for Sunday Friends through a silent auction. We’d love for you to join in this year. You can:
