This recital features solo violin music performed inside prisons, paired with reflections from incarcerated listeners. Audience members will see excerpts from the surveys prisoners complete after hearing the music, offering a rare glimpse into how they listen and what the violin evokes for them. The result is a recital shaped by perspective, attention, and the power of music to resonate across very different lives.

For this weeks free live music we have Jamie & The Dreamers! They bring a sound that blends folk, reggae, and soft rock into a heartfelt sonic experience. With just $7, two backpacks, and a baritone ukulele, their journey began on the open road and has blossomed into a full-bodied, self-produced musical project. Jody’s expressive songwriting paired with Amy’s seasoned vocals create an atmosphere that uplifts and inspires. Their live performances are both intimate and expansive, often accompanied by nui baritone ukulele, keyboard, and layers of musical textures.
