March 17, 2020 - Announcing:
INBOX CONCERTS
Live performances and gatherings are being cancelled all over the globe.
Humans still need music, perhaps now more than ever.
With the help of my organization the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival, I am starting a series of music that everyone can enjoy from the safety and confines of their own homes.
Join our email list, or check on our website daily, to get access to our series of
INBOX CONCERTS.
These will be curated on a daily basis, using either new or existing recordings.
The aim is to give YOU, our audiences, regular access to music,
and to give US, performers who have suddenly lost our income, a means of sharing.
Each INBOX CONCERT will feature:
1) Link(s) to recorded music for you to enjoy.
2) A written "program", with information about the performers, the context and history of the composer or composers featured, and some specific information about the music. This is the kind of listening guide that we would always provide in a concert setting - delivered right to you!
3) Ways for you to support these musicians.
We intend to pay all our musicians for the use of their videos and recordings. Many of us who work as performing artists have seen all of our work disappear for the immediate future - representing the loss of months worth of income!
So, while we invite you to enjoy this music in your own homes, on your own time, we also encourage you to make any kind of contribution. Consider what you might spend on a concert ticket or a meal out at a restaurant. Or, just think "Normally I'd offer to buy this musician a drink" and contribute enough for a beer or cocktail!
Tax-deductible contributions can be made online or via check,
instructions to do so are on our donation website here (click link).
Direct payments can be made via Venmo or PayPal to Ian Scarfe.
