“Music is the ultimate force to combat hate, ignite love, and spark meaningful conversations that drive change”

-Miri Ben-Ari

  • We collaborate with superintendent teams and schools to produce the Symphony of Brotherhood experience in partnership with student teams. We bring schools together and transform the school auditorium into a high-energy hip-hop concert, featuring interactive and uplifting music that actively engages student participation. We create a platform for students to express themselves through panel discussions and Q&A sessions, where they can ask meaningful questions about their careers, dreams, and future. We celebrate student achievement through the Social Responsibility Award ceremony. This music for good program strengthens relationships across diverse communities, confront issues such as hate, racism, bullying, and antisemitism, and foster a positive, inclusive school climate and culture.

  • Yes, this program is a great fit for any school and is especially ideal for high school students as they step into their roles and embrace their social responsibility in society.

  • Our BOLD creative approach makes an impact through Music, the dominant culture. It is our pathway to connecting with students. Our powerful performance and credibility set the stage for a deeper conversation.
