For Our Courageous Workers” – a New York City-wide fanfare April 29th at 7:00 pm

#TiltedAxes is honored to be a co-sponsor of a massive, city-wide music performance of “For Our Courageous Workers” to be played on Wednesday, April 29, at the 7pm ‘cheer honoring our front-line workers.’

From Tenth Intervention: “Our goal is to have over a thousand participants — musicians of every level and all the people of New York City — perform the symphonic fanfare “For Our Courageous Workers” across the city. Everyone is welcome to participate. There are parts for all: musicians of any and every level — beginners, young musicians, amateurs, and professionals; on voices, strings, brass, winds, keyboards, drums — as well as all the people of the city making noise, singing, and banging on pots and pans.

Please help us spread the word today! Share this flyer with your mailing list and social media. Together we can realize this grand project as a way of both bringing the city together and honoring those who are risking their health for all of us.

Co-sponsors to date include Make Music New York, City Winery, Kaufman Music Center, The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, DROM NYC, Greenwich House Music School, Tenth Intervention, HONK NYC, Sing In Solidarity, Galinsky Coaching, Seth Rogovoy Productions, Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars, GOH Productions, Jazz Promo Services/ Jim Eigo, Slavic Soul Party!, Center for Traditional Music and Dance, Yiddish New York, Arturo O’Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra; and are being updated regularly.”
