A musician friend has been augmenting her busy performing and traveling schedule with visits to a prison to perform for the inmates. She plays classical music for these men, some of whom have never listened to this music in their lives. They are more than just receptive to this special treat of live classical music performances– they become hungry and eager for it, and in some cases they quickly develop a deep appreciation and passion for this music. In post-concert surveys they admit to being deeply moved, and having their hearts and souls touched. They’re also experiencing the gift of people caring enough to visit from the “outside” and engage with them to bring a new and enriching experience. The inmates are not the only ones having a new and enriching experience, either.
