The American Opera Project welcomes you to a rebroadcast of the launch of soprano Adrienne Danrich’s Music as the Message, an online musical celebration for everyone– whether artists, hobbyists or enthusiasts– to lift up their voices toward healing, laughter, joy, inspiration and most importantly, community. Streamed live from local and regional partners and themed around current events, national holidays, inclusivity and positivity, Adrienne and her MaM Choir will lead guests through a program of uplifting songs and spoken word, encouraging participants to sing along from the comfort of their own homes. Following this musical catharsis, the audience is welcome to reflect in a safe and respectful space, or listen in support of their fellow attendees.

Free to the public, goodwill offerings accepted. Presented through AOPTV.
