Performers use music to break barriers

Posted: June 5, 2014

Cause Celeb highlights a celebrity’s work on behalf of a specific cause. This week, we speak with singer Vanessa Carlton and violinist Joshua Bell about their work with Music Unites and music education. Music Unites is nonprofit charity that supports emerging talents as well as established musicians by bringing their music to people, especially students, in underserved communities. Aside from schools, musicians also perform in a variety of other venues through partner organizations. Classical pianist Michelle Edgar founded Music Unites in 2008.
