Musicians Fight Against The Wuhan Virus

With all the discussion centered around the steps being taken to curb this terribly pandemic, few words are being shared about the legions of musicians who have taken upon themselves to help in this cause. I’m speaking of the many (actual numbers unknown) who are giving free concerts so that our friends and neighbors can enjoy  some relief from the constant bad news spread hourly by the medial. Many have decided to give from their abilities to entertain with live music. I have never seen such an outpouring of generosity from so many fellow musicians.

In this and the following posts I will try to highlight some of the ensembles who are currently giving neighborhood concerts to uplift the spirits of our population.

If you are currently doing your part to help this musical fight for sanity, let me know by contacting me at……..

and I will contact you in order to show case your ensemble or solo performances on this site. It is time to show the world the value of our art form as well as the size of our hearts in these troubled times.
