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
