 Street Symphony: Creating beloved community at the CROSSROADS

Event Description: A discussion and demonstration of how Street Symphony programs create new works of music from the intersection of community participants living in Skid Row shelters or SRO's and musical/performing artists.

CROSSROADS programs create new communities of audiences, combining Skid Row community participants with the public at large.

Join the conversation with our speakers:

Recognized as a national model for community engagement through music, Street Symphony partners with Skid Row service providers, and Los Angeles county jails to create musical experiences of the highest artistic quality, bringing together musicians from the LA Phil, Master Chorale, and countless other musical artists from a variety of genres, to create music for, and with, people living in Skid Row.
