Music for Food - Helping Those In Need Through Classical Music

Inspired by Carol Rodland’s Rochester-based “If Music be the Food…” food drive concerts, violist Kim Kashkashian launched a concert series titled Music for Food in 2010 to help relieve food insecurity in the Greater Boston area. Working with a group of Boston-based musicians and guest artists, Music for Food has created over 500,000 meals through donations made at concerts for nearly 100 hunger-relief organizations. More than 160 international artists have performed at concerts worldwide that were organized by Music for Food. Here Kim Kashkashian and other members of the organization share the reasons they are committed to this worthy project.
