Harmony's 2020 Music Parade

Being separated during quarantine was hard on everyone, including our Harmony clients and staff members. What we thought was going to be a couple of months turned into more than a year of being separated and isolated.

Harmony's wonderful and amazing staff member, Samantha Bridwell facilitated a social distanced music parade made up of our stellar and kind-hearted volunteer musicians, and went to each one of our Harmony client's homes and stood outside in their yard to share music, joy, happiness and social connection from a safe distance. Everyone's spirits were lifted and hearts were blessed. The music parade offered a glimmer of hope during a time when social connection was needed more than ever.

What Does Harmony Do For Its Clients?

Harmony is the real deal, a nonprofit that brings joy, meaning and social connections to adults with developmental disabilities. The clients are showered with opportunities to express themselves through music, art and other creative endeavors, and their work adds beauty to the lives of others. These adults, who otherwise might be isolated, thrive in the Harmony environment." ~Mary Gordon Spence
