We live in a critical time in world history. What hope and courage can music gift us with? How can it help us grieve – and find our truths? The Sound of Us explores these questions, showing music as that great, universal language that unites us all. As the world grapples with unrest, the profound truth remains that, through music, we are not alone. The Sound of Us weaves inspiring stories about the beauty and goodness of music with interviews and performances by artists such as Ben Folds, Sarah McLachlan, Avery*Sunshine, Eric Whitacre, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Hiromi, Antonio Sanchez, Butch Walker, Will Wells, Patti Smith, and more. Combined, these powerful vignettes illustrate how music heals us, how it gives us hope for the future through our children, and how it keeps our heritage and history alive.
