Happy Fridays with the Factory

Thank you to the gifted students from Professional Children’s School and New School who recently joined our last Friday performances: HERE

We are urgently looking for more musicians for the Friday concerts. Please spread the word to undergraduate students or young musicians who are available to perform during class hours.

Bedside Program

We no longer want most residents who can't leave their beds to be left without music. That is why we now offer a bedside program, where young musicians bring music directly to them. It is an emotionally powerful experience with a remarkable impact: Watch

Weekday Performances - Partnership with schools

Collaborating with schools on their days off or as part of their community outreach creates beautiful moments of human connection between students and seniors during the week. Watch this video from Nov.12, we organized a concert with students from the Lycée Français to bring joy to a senior center in Lower East Side.

Reach out to your schools; they may be interested for a partnership.

Nov 22. we were very honored to play and raise money for this amazing cause: Hearts of Joy
