“… exceeded every expectation and left me filled with
joy, gratitude, and a sense of fellowship…”
– Kim Eberlein, 2022 Attendee
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, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. MaM’s mission is 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 held LIVE at the beautiful Broadway Presbyterian Church in NYC and simultaneously streamed via Zoom. The hybrid model fosters a greater global presence, reaching audience members from the US and abroad.
Adrienne serves as host, inviting various guest artists from a wide range of backgrounds, genres, and experiences to offer performances of uplifting songs, dance, and spoken word. 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.
The Music as the Message series is produced by Opera on Tap, in association with Broadway Presbyterian Church. Free to the public, goodwill offerings accepted.
We believe the arts should be free and available to all. Please consider donating today, no matter the amount, to ensure that Music as the Message can continue our mission. All donations are greatly appreciated.
