Summary
Freeing the Music is a wonderful and moving true story about a young student nurse during her rotation to the Minnesota State Mental Hospital in Rochester Minnesota.
During a nighttime exploration of the tunnels under the hospital complex - a violation of hospital policy - she found a treasure trove of musical instruments, abandoned and apparently forgotten for 30 years, and set about to free them from their lonely exile.
She had enough instruments for a symphony but needed musicians, so she developed a project to recruit and train mental patients, culminating in a one-night concert that changed the lives of both patients and staff.
