At the annual gathering of the global music products, pro audio and entertainment technology industry, The 2020 NAMM Show, the Lightpower Collection gifted The NAMM Foundation a donation of $10,000. The donation check was presented at the annual Grand Rally for Music Education to the Foundation on Saturday, January 18 and will help the Foundation advance music-making opportunities for people around-the-world.
“We are so grateful for this remarkable and generous donation from the Lightpower Collection that will amplify the vision and mission of the NAMM Foundation to advance music learning and making opportunities for people of all ages,” said Mary Luehrsen, NAMM Foundation executive director. “Together, all NAMM Show participants and NAMM members are helping to advance a more musical and creative world, and we are so honored by the Lightpower Collective for this leadership gift.”
“Lightpower is more than thankful to be in the lucky position to be able to support The NAMM Foundation and its fabulous work,” shared Ralph-Jörg Wezorke, founder of the Lightpower Collection. “We ourselves want to thank the photographers we work with for passionately supporting the Lightpower Collection and especially Neal Preston, who from the beginning has always been at our side.“
The check was presented by famed rock ‘n’ roll photographer, Neal Preston, Lightpower executives Giulia Calani and Andreas Witt to Luehrsen and Joe Lamond, NAMM President and CEO.
At The NAMM Show, the Lightpower Collection presented coveted images from Neal Preston’s extensive body of work, featuring more than 80 of his iconic pictures spanning legendary album covers, views behind the scenes, moments that made history – the essence of rock ’n’ roll and concert touring. The works are available as fine art prints through the Lightpower Collection with all proceeds going to charities.
