About this event
Orchestra $100 Buy Tickets Balcony $65 Buy Tickets Redemption Songs is a live concert and storytelling event, bringing together The Marshall Project’s award-winning journalism on American prisons and Musicambia’s pioneering efforts to foster music behind bars. Drawing on journalist Maurice Chammah’s series on the epic story of music in American prisons, this one-night event combines a live rendition of Musicambia’s songbook, along with storytelling, photography and film, to explore how genres from blues to soul to rap have offered paths to rehabilitation, resistance, and hope for people behind bars, from the Jim Crow South to ICE detention centers today. Chammah will be joined by Lawrence Bartley, the publisher of The Marshall Project Inside, and the Cambia Collective, a band formed of teachers and alumni of Musicambia, which offers lessons in instruments and composition across genres to people at Sing Sing Correctional Facility and other prisons across the country. Join us for an unforgettable evening about justice, humanity, and the power of music. Proceeds will benefit The Marshall Project and Musicambia.
