ReSound Festival

RE/SOUND

/rəˈzound/
(of a sound, voice, etc.)

1. A reference to “repeat the sounding joy”, from Joy To The World, related to how all of us come together to create a “symphony” - “sound together” as a community!

We look forward to hosting the 2024 RE/Sound Festival on December 6, 2024!

Serve, Sing, and Celebrate:
RE/Sound Festival Brings Music and Joy to Skid Row
RE/Sound Festival unites volunteers, musicians, and the Skid Row community at
The Midnight Mission to celebrate the transformative power of music.

 

Register to join a team of 100 volunteers to “Serve, Sing, and Celebrate” the power of music to transform lives. 

RE/Sound is a day-long festival of music and service, as well as our 9th annual Messiah Project. The music will accompany YOU: we need your help to create hygiene kits, serve two hot meals, and serve our Skid Row community. 

In collaboration with The Midnight Mission, our hope is to bring hope and joy to Skid Row. We’ll have free barbering, public and mental health services, and lots, lots more. All are welcome. 

Come to serve, stay to sing! Between the lunch and dinner services at The Mission, we hope you’ll join us in the gym of The Midnight Mission for Street Symphony’s 9th Annual Messiah Project. 

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at RE/Sound!
