A central platform for artists to share work and accept donations during the COVID-19 crisis.
Scheduled to debut Saturday, March 21, 2020 - 7pm - 11pm
Subsequent streaming ongoing, schedule updated each day here
The Quarantine Concerts are a collaborative endeavor among a growing number of organizations and organizers meant to provide artists experimenting across genres a space to share their work and continue to earn a living during this time when most live performance opportunities have been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Tune in Saturday, March 21 for the kick-off of the series! The Quarantine Concerts brings you a diverse line-up of artists performing from their homes and accessible via live stream via YouTube (click play above to stream right here!). This initiative will continue to evolve following Saturday, incorporating more and more artists and curatorial voices from across the world. Stay up to date on the schedule at on the main Quarantine Concerts page.
100% of the donations contributed go directly back to the artists performing each day.
The Quarantine Concerts are born from a belief in the collective power of the experimental and grassroots arts community, and in the necessity of art during difficult moments like these. We have been inspired by the proliferation of creativity and community building that we have seen burst forth online in the immediate wake of the emerging COVID-19 situation, and aim through this platform to play a part in helping to centralize those efforts, getting more eyes, ears, and hopefully donations to each artist’s efforts.
The Quarantine Concerts project was initiated by curators and musicians Daniel Wyche (Elastro Electro-Acoustic Series at Elastic Arts), Ben Billington (Resonance Series at the Hideout), Carrie Cooper (Dark Matter Coffee, Ithaca Underground), Elastic Arts, and Experimental Sound Studio, which is serving as the central administrative institution for the project.
