Speakers Bureau
We refer artists from our expansive network of changemakers to opportunities so they can share their work with new audiences and amplify their messaging and impact. Our artists are creative and adaptable--making the most of their speaking engagements. We make sure that artists receive ongoing support for showcasing their passions and harnessing the power of music to to deliver greater value for all. If you're interested in musician changemakers serving on your panel, leading a workshop, or visiting your classrooms, please contact our Artist Liasion, Kyra Shaughnessy at artists@musictolife.org

HOPE RISES
Every 18 months, we conduct a national search for the best grassroots social change music out of all genres by getting in touch with hundreds of amazing artists. We also recruit seasoned artists and industry experts as review panelists before producing our HOPE RISES album, which typically features about 14 diverse finalists across genres, generations and geography.
Accelerating Change
The Accelerating Change house concert series showcases activist musicians from our Accelerator Academy and Workshops. After completing the academy or workshop, each Accelerator artist is offered this platform for their issue of concern. Accelerator artists are empowered to share their musical talents and inspirational stories with a new audience.
This year, the series reached more than 1,000 people around the country, and addressed issues including: immigration advocacy, racial justice, mental health, climate change, and youth empowerment.
