Ross Copperman, Lady Antebellum, Tenille Townes To Lead 10th Annual ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp
ACM Lifting Lives and the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities will partner again for the 10th Annual ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp, June 12-June 19, 2019, in Nashville, TN. Country artists Lady Antebellum, Tenille Townes, Jessie James Decker, producer-songwriter Ross Copperman and singer-songwriter Joy Williams have volunteered their time with the campers at various points throughout the week. The finale will take place Tuesday, June 18, 2019 on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry as ACM Lifting Lives Music campers offer a live performance with country music artist Michael Ray.
The camp, a week-long residential program open to individuals with Williams syndrome talented in music from around the U.S. and Canada, has a dual purpose of studying Williams syndrome while providing music enrichment through performance and education. ACM Lifting Lives funds the costs of the camp in addition to providing scholarships to several campers, enabling the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center to advance its mission of improving the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families through research, training and service.
Campers will participate in a songwriting workshop and recording session, along with other music-oriented activities, culminating in a live performance at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry.
