Musicians Gatherings during COVID
With recent events, we have a number of musicians performing concerts from their living rooms, patios and outdoors and some have even begun donating back to Jazz Bridge via Facebook Birthday Fundraisers. We wanted to take the time to say thank you and please know we appreciate you all.
We’d like to thank those individuals who have donated to our COVID Relief Fund to help those musicians affected by this global health crisis. And we keep in our thoughts the families of those musicians in our community whom we’ve lost:
Frank Bey, Jimmy Heath, Jymie Merritt, Bootsie Barnes, Wallace Rooney and Henry Grimes
, to name a few.
Here is a listing of gatherings and live music either streamed or pre-recorded:
Vocalist, Michelle Lordi
curated the Summer Concerts at the Abington Arts Center. Her last concert is this coming Thursday evening at 7 pm. It’s located at 515 Meetinghouse Road, Jenkintown, PA 19046. Bring a friend or 2 and a chair or blanket and a mask. The concert is free.
Harpist Gloria Galante
