We're thrilled to see composer Joseph Wilson and his opera 9131 featured in @marshallproj Redemption Songs series.
Joseph, who is currently incarcerated at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, began developing his voice as a composer through both @carnegiehall's Musical Connections program and @musicambia. Through these programs, he worked closely with Decoda artist @bradballiett, who became a longtime mentor, collaborator, and champion of his work.
Decoda is honored to have been part of Joseph's artistic journey—performing excerpts from 9131 at Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Room, documenting the work's development, and helping introduce his extraordinary music to new audiences.
Congratulations to Joseph, Brad, and everyone who has helped bring this remarkable work to life.
Read the article through the link in our bio to learn more about 9131 and hear us perform excerpts from the opera.

⭐️Sunday 6/21 “Arboretum” at @thencarboretum for two performances at 10:30 and 11:30. This work by Decoda’s own @bradballiett is inspired by different tree species. Performed by 35 instrumentalists throughout the trails, the audience is immersed in a nature soundscape, moving freely among the musicians where the Arboretum itself becomes a living, breathing musical landscape.
⭐️ Two Festival Finale programs featuring the talented and fantastic DCMF young artists on Wednesday 6/24 at the @centraltolife and Thursday 6/25 at the @warrenwilsoncollege Presbyterian Church.

Last week in our hometown of NYC, we presented our fourth annual installment of “Music for Transformation: Songs from the Inside”, a very special project featuring work written by incarcerated musicians from across the United States. We were joined by a full band of outstanding guests and people: Mikael Darmanie (piano), Mike Bono (guitar), Greg Chudzik (bass) and Matt Smallcomb (drums). The program included original instrumental compositions alongside original songs from Lee Correctional featuring our very own Sarah Elizabeth Charles (vocalist). We shared this extraordinary music in concert at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Room and recorded all of the works in the studio for two days at Power Station NYC. To say this was a memorable week is an understatement. We are beyond excited to share this epic music with you in the coming months!!
There are many people to think for making such a huge project to come to life each year: our project leader and master arranger, Brad Balliett, the City of New York and its Cultural Development Fund, the artistic team and Resnick staff at Carnegie Hall, our mentor and friend Betsie Becker, Musicambia and Musical Connections, the donors and supporters who contribute to these projects, the audience who came out to support, our wonderful record producer and friend Tom Bergeron, engineer Ben Miller and the team at Power Station, Decoda arrangers George Meyer & Kris Saebo, and most importantly, the composers and collaborators we have had the privilege to make music with over the many years at Sing Sing, Lee Correctional, San Quentin, and Cheshire Correctional.

Arranged by Monique Brooks Roberts and presented as part of the “United in Sound: America at 250” festival, the piece features lyrics from Maya Angelou’s poem “America” and explores the nation’s potential for growth if we confront our past and present struggles.
