Dear Friend,

Thank you for your generous donation to Musicambia!

Your support is essential to our work. This season, our programs will directly benefit 125 incarcerated musicians at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York; Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in Bedford Hills, New York; Lansing Correctional Facility in Lansing, Kansas; and San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in San Quentin, California. We will reach an additional 220 incarcerated people as audience members for our concerts inside these facilities.

Contributions like yours enable us to provide incarcerated people, many of whom are facing long sentences, with meaningful musical experiences, educational goals, and a collaborative spirit that significantly increases the likelihood that they will re-enter society upon their release with the skills necessary to contribute to our communities in a positive way. In the words of Sing Sing Program Director Elliot Cole: “Seeing firsthand the power of this work has changed my life. Music can do a lot of things. But its power to create spaces in the darkest places for ambition, talent, and joy is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen it do.”

We believe everyone is creative. We believe making music together fosters respect, empathy, teamwork, and accountability, and doing this fundamentally human activity inside prisons offers incarcerated people purpose, connection, and dignity. The support of our friends, colleagues, and community is invaluable as we build these transformative programs. Without you, there would be no Musicambia. On behalf of the entire Musicambia family, thank you!

Sincerely,
Dr. Shawn Jaeger
Executive Director
