Molloy University Holds Annual Unity Through Diversity Convert

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — With 300 people in attendance, Molloy University's Madison Theater hosted the 5th Annual Rebecca Center for Music Therapy's Unity through Diversity performance.

Unity through Diversity celebrates all abilities in the arts as they express themselves via music, dance, poetry, self-advocacy storytelling and visual artistry.

"We always look forward to this event! Not only is it the 5th Annual Unity through Diversity, but it marks over 20 years of servicing the community at The Rebecca Center at Molloy University," said Diana N. Abourafeh, MS, MT-BC, Board Certified Music Therapist for The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy.

The April 26 show included artwork submissions and musical performances from the Hewlett-Woodmere School District.

One of the night's selections was "We Will Rock You" by Queen performed by Molloy University's MOST program.

"Music gives our participants the opportunity to communicate in a way that is usually not presented to them," said Eliza Stoehrer, Intern at the Rebecca Center for Music Therapy. "Everyone has music inside of them and it is amazing to be able to showcase that through our annual Unity Through Diversity performance. For people to come and see what we do is so important to us."
