Hope Through Music was founded by Abigail John and her cousin and co-founder, Ray Singh. Abigail dreamed of creating an organization where children could use their God-given talents to bring hope and joy to others through music.
Through Hope Through Music, Abigail and Ray hope to bring young performers together to share piano, singing, dance, clarinet, and other talents with assisted-living communities, hospitals, orphanages, community organizations, and other places where music can bring comfort and joy. Their goal is to serve others with kindness, grace, and love.
