• Musical Connections

    This program links people to a variety of creative musical projects ranging from individual performances to intensive yearlong songwriting and composition workshops that are designed to have a direct impact on their daily lives. Whether reinforcing positive health and wellness messages and offering comfort to patients in medical facilities, introducing positive communication techniques and strengthening links to family and community for inmates in correctional facilities, or providing emotional and physical rehabilitation to veterans, Musical Connections instills a deep connection to music and creativity that supports lasting effects in people’s lives.

  • “Even though I’ve been homeless and I’ve been through a lot, I can stand on the square with anyone now because I’ve become human again.”
    —David, songwriting workshop participant
