About STREET SYMPHONY PROJECT INC

Street Symphony Project, Inc. is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses live music and sustained musical programming to build human connection with people affected by homelessness, incarceration, addiction, and reentry. Founded in 2011, the organization convenes professional and community musicians to deliver concerts, workshops, and long-form residency programs in Skid Row shelters, reentry centers, county jails, and related community sites.

In the last 2–3 years Street Symphony has continued regular programs (including Music With a Mission, Midnight Strings, Women’s Voices, Music for Change, and the annual Messiah Project) and has remained an active grantee recipient of state and local arts funding. Recent publicly reported financial filings show the organization operating at a mid-six-figure annual revenue scale, and it continues to report multi-hundred event impact metrics and ongoing partnerships with Skid Row service providers and local arts agencies.

Notable achievements

The Messiah Project (flagship annual event)

Street Symphony’s annual Messiah Project assembles hundreds of professional musicians and community participants each December for a participatory performance that pairs Handel’s Messiah with original works created with Skid Row residents.

Sustained programmatic reach

Since its founding the organization has delivered thousands of live events and workshops and reports community impact metrics in the thousands of people reached and hundreds of collaborating artists, sustaining long-term monthly residencies inside shelters and reentry programs.

State arts grant support

Street Symphony has been awarded competitive public arts grants in recent funding cycles (including California Arts Council support), enabling continuation and expansion of weekly process groups, residencies, and community-based performances.
