ConcertStories™:

Multimedia Concert Stories for Awareness and Advocacy (Flagship)

short films + live performance + patient storytelling

ConcertStories is our flagship program, where original music and real patient and caregiver stories share the same stage. We commission new works, feature disabled and neuro-complex musicians, and pair concerts with short films and pre-concert talks so audiences can feel what brainstem and spinal conditions really mean in everyday life. Powered by our in-house StoryLab media hub, each ConcertStories project lives on through podcasts, short films, and online releases.

  • Commissions and features disabled and neuro-complex musicians

  • Integrates live performance, film, and storytelling

  • Extends impact through podcasts and digital releases

Hidden Diagnoses Impact

storytelling podcast & media

Hidden Diagnoses Impact is our story engine. We elevate the voices of neuro-complex patients, caregivers, and disabled artists through written narratives, podcasts, and short films. These are not “inspiration stories”—they’re case studies of what it means to live through misdiagnosis, brainstem injury, and inaccessible systems.

Fund Our ConcertStories

Year 1 focus: launching a lean, high-impact Spring Stage Pilot that demonstrates what disabled-led, brainstem-aware performance can look like in North Texas.

Funding need: Our Spring Stage Pilot has an estimated total value of about $25,000–$30,000. Thanks to in-kind support (including UNT/MEIT space), we are seeking approximately $15,000–$18,000 in cash support to fully fund artist and patient collaborator fees, AV and livestream, accessibility, and post-production.
