Mater Media Presents: Concerts for Hope
Mater Media is proud to sponsor the internationally acclaimed Concerts for Hope, featuring renowned composer and pianist Eric Genuis alongside his world-class ensemble of violinist, cellist, and vocalist.
These powerful concerts bring beauty, dignity, and hope into places where it is often in short supply. Eric and his musicians have performed more than 1,500 concerts in prisons around the world, including Sing Sing, San Quentin, Folsom, and Angola—offering extraordinary musical experiences that inspire reflection, healing, and hope.
Through this partnership, Mater Media has sponsored and promoted nine Concerts for Hope in six prisons across Missouri and South Carolina, along with special performances in schools and private homes.
