Home2Home was a concert series and artist collective designed to support musicians who had their lives uprooted due to the COVID-19 pandemic with postponed or canceled performances. As a collective, Home2Home had two core values: that music has a unique capability to connect us socially; and that — regardless of a shifting professional landscape — we must continue to value our performing artists.
We offered all Home2Home concerts free to the public with the opportunity for audience members to contribute directly to the performers. Home2Home was thrilled to partner with The Sound Bridges (501c3), so all donations were tax-deductible. All proceeds were split evenly among the performers in the concerts, and we assisted musicians with over $5,000 for their performances throughout the beginning of the pandemic.
Following each concert, we hosted a “virtual reception” via Zoom directly following the concerts. This allowed concert attendees to meet and greet the artists directly (a very special post-concert tradition), to ask any questions they may have about the music and to mingle with artists and fellow concertgoers. Bring your glass of wine!
