Trish Applegate - Loetz
Founder & Executive Director
As long as she can remember, Trish experienced a profound and palpable connection to all things musical. However, it was not until a personal crisis brought her face to face with the with the very real transformative potential of music that Trish became compelled to do something to share that experience with the greater community. It was from this seed that Sound Bridge Music was born. Although Trish wears many hats including co-owner of FrontRow Land Solutions, Inc. and brings over 20 years of finance and nonprofit management experience to the organization, it is bringing music to the greater community that remains her greatest passion.
