Music therapy, hearing loss advocacy, and music accessibility are vital to a diverse and cultured community. 13% of adults have some difficulty hearing and 2 out of every 1,000 babies are born with hearing impairment. But, it's not everywhere that you will find therapeutic treatment paired with a world class concert experience with eclectic art and rotating installations, unmatched acoustics and lighting design, and a full bar!

Built in 1927 as a historic church, 1217 Maple Avenue includes 22' arched ceilings with intricate moldings. Now, as 5 Points Music Sanctuary, it has become an iconic event and performance venue with ample parking, comfortable seating options, and a diverse lineup of artists and performances designed to celebrate the power of sound in all its glory.

5 Points Music Foundation, a 501c3, has a simple mission: to pursue the power of sound in all its glory. That's the inspiration behind incorporating live performance, events, accessibility, and therapies into one unique space. Through a partnership with Anderson Music Therapy, 5 Points Music has provided nearly $60,000 worth of free music therapy sessions to various age groups with various special needs. They have ranged from 3-year-olds with Down Syndrome to Veterans with PTSD. At all events, 5 Points provides wearable SUBPAC devices for those with hearing loss. These "backpacks" feed into the PA system wirelessly and send vibrations of the music into the user. Other programs include free sign language classes held throughout the year, which provide an introduction to sign language for both adults and children.

"5 Points Music Sanctuary allows clients to receive the music therapy services they need and deserve so they can overcome barriers and be the best version of themselves." ~Noel Anderson
