Program Partner:
Rex & Friends
Rex & Friends is a program that provides musical support and training as well as performance opportunities for individuals who are blind and/or on the autism spectrum. Both of these disabilities tend to isolate and the program is geared to help bridge this isolation. We bring these musicians together to provide ongoing professional support and guidance. Participants develop musical repertoire in an environment that is sure to grow friendships, self-esteem, and skill while rehearsing and ultimately performing in front of live audience.
