Kris Allen Video – Performing at the Berklee City Music Scholarship Concert

American Idol winner Kris Allen joined Berklee City Music singers for the 2012 Berklee City Music Scholarship Concert. The annual event took place during the last week of a five-week summer program that includes the awarding of 2012 Berklee City Music College Scholarships.

“My passion is music education and my work with Music Empowers Foundation introduced me to this amazing network connected by Berklee City Music. These kids are beyond talented, but it takes organizations like Berklee City Music to help them turn talent into a tool for success in life,” said Allen.
