The Avenue Road Music and Performance Academy, home of the Gordon Lightfoot Concert Hall, is a Registered Charity creating access for people of all ages and backgrounds to the joys of learning and playing music. In the last year before his passing, Gordon Lightfoot generously donated his personal Steinway Grand piano to support the Academy’s mission.
In honour of Dr. Chuck Chakrapani’s 80th birthday, the Academy sponsors the Top 80 over 80 Award to Canadians age 80 and better who continue to pursue music education and performance as a lifelong passion.
As a significant financial supporter to the Academy, Corbin Forensics encourages clients and colleagues to contribute to one of the Academy’s many fine programs and bursary funds made available by the Academy at avenueroadmusic.com
