Hamilton-Garrett Center for Music & Arts

For years, students at the Hamilton-Garrett Center for Music & Arts, an after-school program in Roxbury, had regularly performed “Make Them Hear You,” the triumphant number from the musical “Ragtime.” The song became an integral part of the program’s repertoire. So, when Gerami Groover-Flores stepped into the role of the center’s executive director, she decided to commemorate the song and its message.

The Hamilton-Garrett Center for Music & Arts is holding its annual “Make Them Hear You” fundraiser Sunday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. at the Rochambeau restaurant in the Back Bay.
