Isaiah Sohn, President
Music for Isaiah has always been an escape, a way to get away from the stress of the everyday by playing beautiful music. As someone raised around music, with siblings playing various instruments, he realizes that music is a gift meant to be shared to as many people around the world. Music's ability to nurture, move, and create has been well-documented in Isaiah's life and he thinks that for Barum, the possibilities are endless. With its concerts and admirable initiative to spread good through music, this foundation is unique.
