*Concerts arranged in partnership with Roots of American Music*
We nourish our neighborhoods with the transformative power of music through education and performance.
Roots of American Music uses live music to educate, inspire, and comfort people in settings where exposure to music performance is limited or non-existent (music deserts). We serve Northeast Ohio citizens in K-12 schools, residential communities serving seniors, and assisted living communities serving the physically and mentally challenged.
