Harmony, Hope & Healing


Music possesses a power that reaches beyond entertainment and performance.  Harmony, Hope & Healing harnesses the creative and therapeutic aspect of song as a way of offering dignity and spiritual healing to homeless and underserved women, men and children. This Chicago-based nonprofit was founded in 2000 by singer and educator Marge Nykaza.  Programs offer a chance to learn, heal, and experience a sense of community:
  • Adult music sessions
  • Musical English lessons for non native speakers
  • Senior group piano lessons
  • Senior choir rehearsals
  • Parent / child music classes
  • Children’s music classes
  • Pre-school music classes
  • Annual music event at each program site
  • Choir performances in public or private venues
Harmony, Hope & Healing "delivers direct services in the form of therapeutic music programs that offer healing from the devastating effects of poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse and the isolation of aging."  (Mission Statement)
