Songwriters Circle

The Songwriters Circle was established in response to the growing need for post-release assistance for individuals who had taken part in our classes during their time in detention. Directed by Teaching Artists Cinamon Blair and Dan DeCristofaro, the ensemble convenes weekly to collaborate on songwriting and exchange musical ideas. Beyond crafting music, the group also prioritizes fostering a supportive community for adults reintegrating into society, aiming to bolster their rehabilitation efforts and lower the chances of reoffending amongst participants engaged in OpporTUNEity initiatives.
