An infectious band of musicians whose interactive concerts are carefully calibrated to appeal to people with developmental disabilities and sensory sensitivities has an upcoming date.
The Especially Everyone (EE) Ensemble has a phenomenal mission: To help people of all abilities experience “authentic joy.” The rollicking 10-member band — which plays original and cover songs — fronts an event that includes dancing, encourages singing, and features a customized easy-to-play keyboard that gives people the chance to join in the fun. There are also sound stations where different sounds and instruments can be explored.
