Sound Affects music programming connects professional musicians with underserved adults living in care facilities.
Through live performance, one-on-one residencies, and advocacy, Sound Affects meets the needs of those who are prone to isolation and who cannot access public music in the ways that they wish.
Sound Affects is an evolving platform for both underserved adults and musicians to use music to engage in their larger community and to experience mutual and lifelong esteem.
Our Values
Sound Affects is a grassroots effort! Professional musicians, care facility residents, senior living staff, community partners, volunteers, and donors are crucial members of the project
Quality
All people should have access to great music made by great musicians
