MUSIC AS THE MESSAGE
If you can breathe, you can sing

Music as the Message (MaM) was created in 2020 by Emmy Award-winning soprano Adrienne Danrich, in response to the need for communal sharing and healing, despite our physical isolation during the height of the pandemic, and in the wake of George Floyd's murder. MaM’s mission is simple — to create shared musical experiences, celebrating the unifying power of music to inspire healing, joy, laughter, love and most importantly, community.

Beginning solely as an online experience, Music as the Message has now grown into a vibrant, interactive, hybrid performance series, marrying live in-person & digital performances via Zoom. The hybrid format makes it possible to reach an international and intergenerational audience, as well as featuring sensational international and local artists. To date, our viewership spans all five boroughs of New York City, over half of all US states, and five countries across the globe.

Music as the Message provides a safe space for Attendees to quietly enjoy or, when invited, to participate and lift their voices in tandem with the performers. Each episode also sees the premiere of newly commissioned works, as well as partnerships with charity organizations, who share in the musical offerings and proceeds from your generous donations.
