Keys to the Community
The Keys to the Community program strives to enrich the lives of Frankfort’s African-American
children by giving them access to top-of-the-line piano instruction and exposing them
to the wonders of classical music. It is sponsored by the Frankfort/Lexington Chapter
of The Links, Incorporated in cooperation with the Division of Performing Arts at
Kentucky State University.
The generous support of the Frankfort Lexington Chapter of The Links, Incorporated enables those admitted to receive free piano lessons with KSU's Piano Faculty and Students.
