IS Me2.
Erasing the stigma surrounding mental illness through supportive classical music ensembles and inspiring performances.
Classical Music for Mental Health
“The experience of work and creation within an inclusive community whose members watch out for each other is marvelous beyond words.”
-Me2 musician
ABOUT US
The members of Me2 are both musicians and activists, championing the cause of all who live with mental health diagnoses. In weekly rehearsals we bring together musicians with and without mental illness to work side-by-side, empowering each other and modeling inclusivity.
There are no auditions and no fees to join.
Approximately 50% of our musicians live with mental illness, while others join Me2 because they appreciate the opportunity to rehearse in a supportive environment and further our social mission.
Our concerts take place in recital halls, correctional facilities, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals.
We convene people through performances of great music and then incorporate our personal stories about living well with mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and addiction.
