NO FEAR Music presents: “Dream”
Check out NO FEAR’s mission in action through our recent collaboration with There’s Always Hope Foundation and Temple Sinai New Orleans.
With NO FEAR teaching artists meeting with students over the course of three months, collectively they composed “Dream” together, which reimagines Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech through song, while welcoming audiences to become active participants in the experience.
This debut performance from Temple Sinai’s 2026 MLK Jr. Day Ceremony, invites an audience of nearly 500 to “break the fourth wall” through participatory and communal artmaking, being hallmarks of Experiential Arts and Learning.
Annual Report
We are so grateful to all the supporters who have contributed their time, money, and resources to NO FEAR during our first year, and who helped further our mission to utilize art and artmaking as tools which can connect, reflect, and relate with participants in purposeful ways.
In 2025, NO FEAR provided 19 students from Greater New Orleans, ages 9-19, with free afterschool music education which included ensemble rehearsals, individual and group lessons, music theory and piano instruction, performance opportunities, social gatherings, and more.
