They each shared about the role of music in their lives. 

When it was Obama's turn to speak the room erupted in applause before she could even get a word out!  After calming down the crowd, the former first lady went on to give a short, powerful monologue about how music impacts her life and bring all us together. 

"Music has always helped me tell my story," Obama said to the crowd.
