Natalie Twigg Music Foundation
Inspiring childrens lives through music…
At an early age Natalie loved to sing and hear music. At age 6 her father died tragically. It was then that she recognized the invaluable source of music: as pure expression, as pure language, as pure comforter, as pure educator, as pure joy. This legacy needs to be continued to give opportunities to children enabling them to connect in this disconnected world. Through her performances she wishes for children to experience joy, truth, love and peace that music constantly imparts.
Natalie Twigg was picked as one of “Kansas City’s Best” in 2005 for her work through the NTMF.
