Ohio orchestra performs at prison to bring 'hope and peace': 'Meaningful, important work'
Fox News
The Lima Symphony Orchestra recently performed inside the Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution in Ohio for what is believed to be the first performance of its kind in the state.
"The Lima Symphony Orchestra began our Healing Through Music program in 2018," she said. "The original goal was to bring the healing power of music to people struggling with addiction and mental health." "We want people on the outside to see us as people, too. We love music like they do. It moves us. It lifts us up." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The June 30 performance marked the first time a full orchestra was permitted to perform at an Ohio prison, and possibly the first time anywhere in the U.S., Brown-Ellis said.
