Paths to Dignity

Empowering the Unsheltered through Arts and Advocacy

Symphony of the Mountains commissioned a violin concerto entitled “Paths to Dignity”. The work addresses the “Paths to Dignity” for people who are homeless and was performed at the Toy F. Reid Auditorium in Kingsport on April 1, 2023.

Around the concert, extensive outreach helped raise awareness and educated our communities about the issues of people who are homeless. The performance provided music in places where individuals and families who are unsheltered can enjoy it. When most people think about how they might help, they tend to think of the basic needs for survival. But music is as essential to the soul as food is to our bodies.

Recognizing the importance of this program, Symphony of the Mountains continues to spread music with the “Paths to Dignity” project.
