An extraordinary second helping of original songs to benefit The North Rampart Street Community Center and the work that began in New Orleans...After The Storm. Featuring new songs written in collaboration with young musicians and songwriters in New Orleans. Hosted by Randy Redd with Musical Direction by Aaron Jodoin.
We Are The Song: After The Storm brings the New York music and musical theater communities and North Rampart Street Community Center (formerly St. Mark's Community Center) together and serves the youth of New Orleans. Your support will keep music training programs going and develop new programs so that young artists, musicians and songwriters can continue to make music and tell their own stories. The title of this ambitious project is taken from “After The Storm,” the new song written by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty for the film After The Storm (Winner - Audience Award: Woodstock Film Festival) directed by Hilla Medalia.
The After the Storm Foundation was established to offer assistance and support not only to North Rampart Street Community Center but also to other already existing relief organizations currently serving the youth of New Orleans. The first step in the foundation’s creation was the formation of a life-to-life link between the New York music, theater and film community and North Rampart Street Community Center. By getting to know its people and programs, the foundation is better able to assist community center staff members in setting up new opportunities for youth and buoying up already existing programs -- by providing the needed funds and offering technical and moral support. By creating ties to local arts organizations, the foundation also intends to leave behind the means and personnel to keep music and theater training programs going and to set up video and film archiving capabilities so that the kids can continue to tell their own stories.
