LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Nearly 200 people came out to support the Lima Symphony Orchestra.
On Sunday night, we told you about the Lima Symphony Orchestra's history-making performance at Allen Oakwood Correctional Institute. Some of the inmates not only enjoyed the performance, but they were part of it. For Kevin Karszewski, this was a moment that was a long time coming for members of the choir at Allen Oakwood Correctional Institute. They were preparing to perform the Battle Hymn of the Republic a few years ago
The orchestra's string quartet put on a couple of concerts at Lima Memorial and St. Rita's. The quartet is part of the Healing Through Music program, created two years ago to help in the mental health crisis. The concerts were a little thank you to the caregivers for their efforts to take care of the community. With the COVID-19 pandemic, it has prevented the Healing Through Music program to be put on. The concerts aimed to give a sense of peace and relaxation to those in attendance.
While many people listen to music for recreation, it can also be used for therapeutic purposes. Wednesday, the Lima Symphony Orchestra continued their healing through music program at Mercy Health St. Rita's. "Healing Through Music" is a program intended to actively fight drug addiction and help those with mental illness.
They will receive $30,000 to put towards the new program for two years.
