String quartet brings music to inmates in Mississippi prison
The Mississippi Department of Corrections says a string quartet has brought classical music into a prison

A string quartet performed classical music, movie scores and hymns during a concert this week inside a Mississippi prison.
Two violinists, a viola player and a cellist from First Baptist Church of Jackson played for 68 inmates Tuesday at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility.
āMusic is a language that anyone from any country, any system, anyone can understand because itās the beauty that God gave us,ā cellist Sarah Beth Mullen said a news release Thursday from the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
Beth Masters, the department's director of the women's prison seminary, arranged the concert, which took place in the prison chapel.
āI wanted to uplift them and give them some classical inspiration with a little bit of the free world,ā Masters said.
In addition to hymns such as āAmazing Graceā and classical works by Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, the musicians played selections from āThe Sound of Music," āRaiders of the Lost Arkā and āThe Lion King.ā
One of the inmates, Torri Sanders, said she enjoyed the experience.
āHaving that music poured into us ā everything you put in is whatās going to come out, and itās nothing but good,ā Sanders said in the news release.
