2021, What is Our Message?

As the pandemic continues into 2021, what is the message for musicians and performing arts groups? So many people, businesses and institutions have been impacted. The challenges and closures of restaurants and bars have been well documented. Actors, musicians, dancers and other artists have been dealt a double blow. Many work in the hospitality industry to supplement their true passion -- performing for live audiences. In many cases the pandemic took both away. It's hard. 

As we look ahead to the time when theaters and music halls reopen, when outdoor music festivals resume, let's send a message of the joy we will all share when we can gather again. Even if those days are months away, talking about it will help us all.
