Founded in 2006 by Darcy Ataman, Make Music Matter is a non-profit organization which assists countries deeply scarred by conflict, trauma, violence and hardship by providing comfort and consolation through music. Recently, both David and Darcy visited the Panzi Hospital in the Congo to assist with a music rehabilitation program for survivors of sexual gender-based violence. Our students were given the opportunity to mix these recordings and showcase them for critique to both David and Darcy in Metalworks Studios, Studio 6.
