We write songs to remember our loved ones and share our stories
Because music communicates directly to the soul
The Negaunee Music Institute of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
In collaboration with the Faith Community of St. Sabina Church
And the families of Purpose Over Pain
Created twenty-four songs of love and remembrance
For the victims of gun violence
These remarkable people presented Songs for Peace
Songwriters brought their incredible imaginations
Singers brought their beautiful voices
And musicians of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago their talents
In celebration of the lives
And the people who are so deeply missed
Forming deep bonds between artists
And parents, siblings, and children struggling with loss
And finding the healing power of music
To strengthen the resolve to end the violence
Visit our tributes to loved ones and hear our Songs of Peace
