Special Audiences and Musicians, Inc (SAM) was created in 2017 in an effort to present concerts at nursing homes, assisted living institutions, community centers, hospitals and other such institutions. There is a large body of research that attests to the important therapeutic aid that live musical performance can have on individuals in such settings. SAM has as it's goal to present these performances using musicians drawn from a body of three under-represented groups; musicians with disabilities, senior musicians, and women.
The mission of Special Audiences and Musicians, Inc. is to provide cultural enrichment by way of musical performances in nursing homes, hospitals, assisted-living homes, and other such institutions in New York and the Tri-State area, with musicians drawn from three under-represented groups; musicians with disabilities, senior musicians, and women. These three groups will occasionally be joined by other musicians. Special Audiences and Musicians, Inc. will provide a much needed service with musical performances in such institutions including nursing homes, hospitals, assisted-living homes, and other related institutions. The therapeutic, social and emotional benefits from live musical performance are well established. Utilizing musicians with disabilities, female musicians and senior musicians will provide valuable performance opportunities to those under-represented musicians who have much to offer in terms of artistic expression.
