Our Mission
PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide encouragement, education and healing through bringing high-quality live music performances and interactive programming to marginalized communities with limited ability to access it themselves, with a focus on elderly, disabled, rehabilitating, incarcerated, and homeless populations.
"There are very few things in this world [that can] transcend time and place, and [...] music is one of those things. It adds a level of humanity to a situation that I think this virus has taken away."
"Thank you for reminding me that even behind razor wire and locked inside of walls made of concrete, I can still find strength, beauty, and hope for a better tomorrow."
"I have to make sure my patient finds out about your concert only the day-of - otherwise, if he finds out early, he won’t sleep for days leading up to the concert because he’s so excited!"
