Heartcore for the World
Heartcore for the World is an ongoing series of charitable projects to bring music, light, and happiness to disadvantaged youth around the world. Each year, Heartcore Records representative Michaela Bóková partners with an organization, where she conducts musical workshops, and opens brilliant young minds to new creative possibilities. The process concludes with a project for the children: a recording session.
In post production, Michaela Bóková & the founder of Heartcore Records Kurt Rosenwinkel enlist the help of the finest musicians on the planet as collaborators. We then offer the song to you the listener as a digital download, where all proceeds go towards the purchase of musical equipment for the children.
We invite you to join us in this mission to spread music and creativity all over the world.

“There is no better way to bring people together than through the processes of creation. Let’s be together, warm to the presence of each other, speak, sing, and play. This is the Heartcore message, and the Heartcore mission.”
– Michaela Bóková, Author of the Project
