The Canales Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, gives voice to issues of identity and culture through music.

Our debut initiative, Hear Her Song, celebrates extraordinary women leaders through newly-commissioned songs, with honorees including Hillary Clinton, Chief Theresa Kachindamoto, Sister Marilyn Lacey, Michelle Obama, and more.

 
 

Looking forward to partnering with University of Wolverhampton’s Music Department this season, continuing Hear Her Song in the United Kingdom!
