Sound Off: Music for Bail presents works that received new, free editions through our Engrave-A-Thons, as well as other arrangements of works by our community members that uplift historical composers of marginalized identities. All new engravings of works in the public domain will be available via IMSLP.
This will be a Facebook Live and YouTube Premiere video presented at 6 PM EST, and, while free, donations are gratefully accepted to help fund our upcoming March 13th guest lecture by Dr. Fredara Hadley, ethnomusicologist and professor of music history at the Juilliard School.
Donations will be taken at our Fractured Atlas page: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/.../general_support
All donations taken via FA are tax-deductible.

Sound Off: Music for Bail combines classical music performances with presentations by individuals versed in the American criminal justice system and formerly incarcerated individuals in order to educate audiences and build inclusive communities.
We believe strongly in paying presenters and performers, and center Black, indigenous American, Latinx, and Asian people who have taken the time to work in liberation & reparative fields in our choices of instructors, musicians, and speakers.

Musicians: 150$ for 50 min of music and audience talkback
Speakers: 150$ for a 10-15 min lecture and audience talkback
Instructors: 100$ for a 45 min instrumental or vocal class
