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.
"We believe that music has the incredible ability to transcend barriers and connect people in ways that words often cannot. With Project Connect, we are committed to making investments in addressing social connection and fostering a sense of community spirit, engagement and well-being among our valued seniors."
Our first 3 Project Connect shows were 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. The energy was repeated and amplified when A Cabbello and the Mizell Center presented a fall 2024 and spring 2025 Project Connect show of Keep Calm & Sing On!
Check out some highlights and testimonials from our Nov 23, 2024 Project Connect featuring the 1.0 version of Keep Calm & Sing On!

Just like the notes in a song, every loving act combines to create a crescendo of kindness. That’s the founding philosophy of A Cabbello: we are together in the moment, and we are one in the music.

Wishin’: accomplished!
Project Connect Partner Organizations
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.
