Sebastian Ruth ’97

alumni

Sebastian Ruth founded Community Music Works in 1997 with the conviction that music and musicians have an important role to play in creating and transforming communities. With start-up funding from the Swearer Center, Sebastian created the opportunity for a professional string quartet to teach, perform, and become fully integrated into an urban Providence neighborhood.
