Calling all music-loving collegiettes!

Music Unites and Webster Hall present Music Unites Rocks The Campus featuring headlining performance Adam Rhodes along with The Bailen Brothers, Sophia Melon, and &mpersand on Sunday, April 29that 7:30pm to kick off an annual celebration of the Music Unites Campus Representative Program.

Music Unites is a New York based non-profit that is dedicated to bringing music education to underprivileged children in underfunded inner city school systems.  The organization strives to empower urban youth through the power of music.  All proceeds go to creating free after-school programs in inner city schools.

The concert will raise funds for the Five Borough Music Unites Youth Choir Initiative, which will launch a choir in each of the five boroughs of New York City at schools with music programming budget cuts.

Headliner Adam Rhodes is a Park Slope-based visionary singer-pianist whose debut album “Reality” was released in October 2011.

“In a music industry saturated by image and marketing, Adam Rhodes is a voice of integrity — one that harkens back to a time when pop musicians played a critical role in social change,” said composer and arranger Jack Shenker.

Other performers include Sophia Melon, the former bassist in the Disney band KSM and now a Columbia University student; The Bailen Brothers who are working with world-renown producer Joe Mardin; &mpersand, a Hunter College-based group; and NYU’s very own Patrick Droney.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door or online here.
