🎸 Music in the Community: 2024 in Review

This year has been one of immense gratitude and reflection. We are thankful for the 18 live music events we were privileged to stage, for the warm welcome of as our host, and for the nearly 50 talented musicians who joined us.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to our incredible trustees, who became part of our team and strengthened our mission.

But this year also brought sadness with the loss of the legendary Rise Kagona. It is both humbling and bittersweet that ours was his final live performance. We hold his friends, family, and fans in our thoughts during this time.

To our dear followers, musicians, supporters, and friends—thank you for being part of this journey. Your support keeps the music alive.

Here’s to creating more musical moments together in the year to come.
