Spotlight On: Hear Your Song

Welcome to That's So Chronic! Today we are shining a spotlight on Hear Your Song, a non-profit organisation that is empowering children and teens with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. If you know a bit about me, you’ll know that this is my cup of tea, so I was very excited to learn more and help share their story today! In this episode I’m chatting to co-founder and executive director Dan Rubins, as well as music director Sofía Campoamor. They share the story behind Hear Your Song, what a session entails, and what they’ve learnt along the way. Annie, Piper, Zippy, and Elliot explain what they love about being a part of this project, and we also hear about Hear Your Song’s recent concert at 54 Below in NYC, where Broadway performers collaborated with the kids to perform their songs! Oh, and we get to listen to some of the songs!
