We are grateful and humbled by the overwhelming success of our Community Engagement Program! With Decoda remaining as our Ensemble-in-Residence and with our ongoing partnership with a variety of CT communities in need, we have once again decided to expand our programming.
Two years ago we piloted a 5-day creative songwriting workshop with the inmates of Cheshire Correctional Institution (CCI). This workshop proved to be life changing not only for the inmates but for all who participated. The inmates created six new songs in four days, process that fostered trust, community, and a sense of citizenship in an environment where that rarely happens.
Because of the impact of the Cheshire programming, we spent a week last summer and a week last winter with CCI inmates. In addition, we spent a week with Fitch High School in Groton and the Waterford Country School enhancing the programming and relationships we have established over the past two years. We also spent time with our friends at Vista Life Innovations whose enthusiasm and creativity during the songwriting process was infectious!
In addition to the residency programs, each season Decoda performs two FREE community concerts in eastern Connecticut. Join our email list to be notified about our free concerts.
To help sustain our Community Engagement Program (CEP), we’re excited to announce a Matching Grant: two generous donors will match every new dollar given to CEP, up to $10,000.

OUR HISTORY
The recipe for Musical Masterworks included a savoyard couple, a small museum known as the site of an early-20th-century art colony, and the unconconventional acoustic of a country church.
