"Bringing Hope
through Harmony"

The concept for Sounds of Hope Project (SOHP) was born in 2002 as a therapeutic outlet for musician Mary Lou Lydecker, who was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease and virtually housebound. The first recording, Keys to Peace, Sounds of Hope was so successful that a 2nd CD was recorded, Sounds of Hope. In order to keep costs at a minimum and to be able to provide CDs to those in need, the SOHP became established as a non-profit organization in May, 2004. Its mission is to comfort, relax, and soothe listeners through the production of inspirational music CDs. The SOHP is a music outreach program that targets shut-ins, those under hospice care, the hospitalized and those in nursing homes. The SOHP also gives local musicians the opportunity to perform and record their favorite classical or inspirational music.
