The Story
Hearts & Harmonies 'Director of Goodness/Artist Ambassador', Keri Koistra, is a passionate live music fan who has been volunteering for charities since high school. Over the years she has increasingly felt a significant correlation between the magic of doing a good deed with the power of music and live concert experiences.
From memories at high school of playing music for patients as a volunteer at the local hospital, to traveling the U.S. doing community outreach for various tours with the musician Michael Franti and his nonprofit 'Do It For The Love,' and many more, Keri has been inspired by the power of music and giving back.
One of the most profound related experiences was when a special little girl in Keri's life was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, which required a life-saving bone marrow transplant. The Make-a-Wish Foundation was there as a bright light, allowing for 1 of 3 of the girl’s wishes to be granted. At that time, Keri was working in production at the TV show Access Hollywood and was in a position to be instrumental in joining forces with the non-profit to grant one of the little girl's wishes — to meet the actress and musician Hillary Duff. There was a determination to create a very special experience, from picking her up at the hospital after a treatment, to surprising her with a meet & greet, to the front row live concert experience. It was an inspirational moment that came about from a heartfelt desire to make a difference.
Hearts & Harmonies goal is to bring music, charity and art together globally for many more inspirational and life changing experiences.
