Our first Project Connect show was a smashing success!
The inaugural event showcased the transformative power of music in uniting communities and uplifting spirits.
In May 2024, Brasilanova’s hypnotic rhythms brought the Mizell Center to life. The Bossa Nova beat swept the crowd into an impromptu conga line, filling the space with joy. But the connection didn’t end when the music stopped. Guests turned to each other, sharing genuine emotional bonds and newfound friendships. Together, they laughed, shared reactions, and enjoyed delicious treats—all brought together by the power of music.
“Thank You! Thank You! There are “many moments” at Mizell but some stand out as truly exceptional! Today’s concert was one of those moments. A Cabbello should be very proud of today’s contribution to the community!”

Director of Operations, Programs and Volunteers, Mizell Center
"We believe that music has the incredible ability to transcend barriers and connect people in ways that words often cannot.

A Cabbello is Proud to Present
More connected lives = More connected society
Transforming lives through music, uniting communities, and combating loneliness one note at a time.
WHAT IS LONELINESS?
Gap between social connections you want versus what you feel you have.
More than half (58%) of U.S. adults reported feelings of loneliness in 2021
Let’s collectively inspire positive feelings, improve mental & physical health, acknowledge lifelong worth and show our seniors they’re cherished.
Together, we will create a community where unity and joy thrive. Showing our seniors that they are not alone.
They are valued.
We see YOU!
The Surgeon General’s recent advisory on epidemic of loneliness, identified profound health risks associated with feeling isolated and disconnected from our community: · Making our hearts, bodies, minds & immune systems weaker · Can be as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes per day · 30% increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or death
In response to the call for action, A Cabbello’s Project Connect is taking bold steps to address this issue head-on.
Together, we have the opportunity, the responsibility, and the ability to invest in creative opportunities that foster social connection—ultimately improving the health and well-being of our community.
