Inspire the Next Generation at Something Wicked
When you join Disco Donnie Presents and NightCulture for the return of Houston’s Something Wicked, you won’t just be dancing to talented artists all day and night. You’ll also be helping to mold the minds of the next generation.
With our strategic partnership with the Bob Moog Foundation, an organization that honors the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog, ticket sales generated from last year’s Something Wicked allowed the organization’s Dr. Bob’s Sonic Workshop to ignite the creativity of students at the Cornelius Elementary School in Houston, TX.
Centered around science, math and technology, the 45-minute presentation taught the entire student body of 950 students the basic physics of sound, including sound creation, travel, vibrations, waveforms and more. All fourth and fifth graders participated in Dr. Bob’s Interactive Sonic Experience which included a setup of theremins and synthesizers that provided students the opportunity to explore the boundless sonic universe through old and new electronic musical instruments.
Donnie Estopinal, Founder and CEO of Disco Donnie Presents, describes the partnership, “Dr. Bob’s Sonic Workshop is especially rewarding way for Something Wicked to give back to Houston, because we can offer our strengths and expertise to positively affect children’s lives. The goal of the workshop is simple — we want to help develop the creative abilities of the community’s children in a lasting manner.”
If you want to help inspire creative innovation for future generations, all you have to do is join us on the dance floor for this year’s Something Wicked in Houston, TX this Saturday, October 26th.
