Update #2: Thank you, everyone!
We've reached our official goal of $1,000!
This is great news!
We are going to rent our concert hall in NYC very soon now, and of course will update you when that happens.
In other news, we've completed our concert license contracts with both ASCAP and BMI so that we can pay royalties to the living composers whose music we are supporting.
The licenses, the venues, the transportation (we're going to have to rent a bus to get all the musicians and instruments out to the city), all of these are expensive operations, and we need all the help we can get!
Keep forwarding the link to friends or family, or rich acquaintances, and thanks so much for your help!
Gratefully,
Dylan
Update #1: Doing well!
Thank you, all of you for the generous donations, we're doing well with lots of time to spare!
Here's the poster for our first concert, IN REAL TIME, coming on March 7th, 5PM in the Chapel of the Holy Innocents at Bard College. (30 Campus Road, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 12504)
Also, we have a lot of things to spend money on — music licensing, venue rental, percussion rental, transportation, music rental, etc. so just because we reach our initial $1000 goal doesn't make further donations superfluous! We can use all the help we can get!
Thank you again to all those who have contributed so far, and we look forward to seeing some of you at future concerts!
Dylan
