The Lived Experience Concert

The Lived Experience Concert is an Artistic Experience Supporting Reentry & Reducing Recidivism. In this second partnership with Remerg, The Playground will showcase the stories and creative expression of currently and formerly incarcerated people. In addition to new works inspired by the lived experiences of this community, the concert will also feature three brand new pieces created by pairs of a composer and a returning citizen, each of whom has collaborated in the creation of a new musical work. There will also be a silent auction of visual art by currently and formerly incarcerated people. Proceeds will benefit the individual artists as well as Remerg and its reentry programs and resources.
