Music Rising is a campaign that was launched to rescue the musical culture of the Gulf Coast area by replacing instruments that were lost during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. It was created in November of 2005 by The Edge, Bob Ezrin and Henry Juszkiewicz with inaugural partners Gibson Musical Instruments, Guitar Center Music Foundation, MusiCares and Musicians Friend. Through these partners’ generous contributions of money and time, along with many other individual and organizational contributions, Phase One of Music Rising was able to provide replacement instruments to nearly 2,500 professional musicians from the Gulf Coast area. Phase Two of Music Rising is dedicated to helping churches and schools who were affected by the hurricanes to rebuild their music programs by replacing the instruments that they lost in the devastation. This phase is being administered by The Gibson Foundation and enjoys the continuing support of The Guitar Center Foundation, Musicans Friend, The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, All Congregations Together, and The Bush Clinton Katrina Fund.
