Lifebeat’s Hearts & Voices Progam is an on-going live performance series for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Every year Hearts & Voices produces an average of 250 concerts, bringing the gift of live music to thousands of people at numerous facilities throughout New York City and Washington, DC including hospitals, residential facilities and day treatment centers. Every week, talented musicians from all musical genres volunteer their time and talent to entertain the most appreciative of audiences.
Many people living with the HIV/AIDS routinely spend time in facilities that can serve their health needs. Most people in these facilities are not able to go out to enjoy live music and entertainment, so Hearts & Voices brings the beat of the city to them.
Jeffrey Paul Bobrick is honored to be a Heart and Voices Artist. "I've always belived that all human beings have gifts that we can share to improve the lives of others," says Jeffrey. "I've been very fortunate in life and it's important that I pass that on. For me, one of the things I can give is music. I'm so happy and joyful to be working with this great organization to share the gift of song with those who could use it most."
Hearts & Voices continuously seeks to adapt to the changing needs of the HIV/AIDS community by tailoring live performances to meet the desires of patients and residents. The Hearts & Voices artist roster is diverse, and always expanding. Celebrity performers who have participated include Destiny’s Child, LL Cool J, Stanley Jordan, Jewel, Ethan Hawke, Jon Secada and Floetry, among others.
“… some days I can barely get out of bed, but I know that I have to fight this thing… music helps a great deal, we can sing along, and it makes us feel like we are still a part of society.”
- Carol, patient
“Music is a form of contact to another person (expressing) your feelings. But it’s not done verbally, it’s done through the soul.”
