Community Events
Bring music therapy to life through shared experiences
OUR MISSION
Why Community Events Matter
Our community events serve as bridges between music therapy practice and public understanding, creating opportunities for education, connection, and healing.
Through carefully designed experiences, we demonstrate how music therapy can enhance quality of life while building a supportive network of families, professionals, and community members who believe in the power of music.
Each event is thoughtfully planned to be inclusive, accessible, and meaningful, whether you’re new to music therapy or have been part of our community for years.

CONCERTS & PERFORMANCES
Harmony Garden Concerts
Musical performances and concerts that showcase the talents of our community while raising awareness and funds for music therapy programs.
Harmony Garden Concerts
The Harmony Gardeners is a Community Healing Project that reconnects people to their inner selves, to one another, and to the Jackson community through music, arts, and self-expression. The Harmony Gardeners hope to highlight the inherent beauty in our differences and what makes us unique; providing an avenue for individuals in our community to have a voice of growth and creation. We strive to decrease anxiety and stress (especially for families, children, teens, parents) from the isolation and division collectively experienced in the last three years.
