"MUSIC TO SAVE LIVES"
“Music to Save Lives”
In alignment with our mission to build bridges of cultural understanding through music, Sound Bridges International Company is partnering with individual musicians around the world to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders (DWB) as they deliver life-saving medical care in Gaza.
Our music can reflect and engage with our world. Our music can bridge the gap between isolation and impact. In a moment when we as musicians feel helpless to save lives, Sound Bridges International Company invites you to use your musical voice as we speak compassion to suffering humanity. Consider participating by PERFORMING a benefit concert, or HOSTING a performance in-person or virtually, and invite your audience to donate directly to our fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders HERE.
“Doctors Without Borders is an independent and impartial medical humanitarian organization. We provide medical care with empathy and compassion to all patients, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, or politics. To facilitate our humanitarian and medical work, we speak to all parties to the conflict to request safe, rapid, and unimpeded access to civilians who require medical care and to ensure the safety and security of our staff. This is why our independence and impartiality are essential to our work in all the places we operate across the globe.”
“Let us construct these bridges through our shared humanity and musical heritage - linking the wisdom of the past with the present and proclaiming these truths for the future, uniting generations of musicians, communities, narratives and aspirations… so that when challenges arise, our interconnectedness endures.”
