Many people who suffer from mental illness and/or drug addiction feel ashamed and lonely. In this extended edition of Staccato hear how the Me2 Orchestra of Vermont (not affiliated with the #MeToo movement) was formed specifically for musicians with mental illness. They are working on a documentary called Orchestrating Change about their experience and the effort to remove the stigma of mental illness.
