ABOUT:

From these conversations, participants choose a theme to collectively write a song and create a multimedia production. In addition to their original song, participants will also have the opportunity to learn and perform during a culminating concert a couple of the more than 70 JAMMS songs have been written, recorded, and performed by hundreds from around the world.
