That is the power of the performing arts, and that is the opportunity I want to share with these students as we rehearse for this collaborative concert experience.”More information on the Jason Mraz Foundation:https://jasonmraz.com/foundation/https://www.instagram.com/jasonmrazfoundation/https://www.facebook.com/JasonMrazFoundation/https://twitter.com/jasonmrazfdn?lang=en
