Join violinist Rachel Barton Pine and others on Saturday, April 4, at 8pm ET to support artists affected by COVID-19 cancellations

As postponements and cancellations sweep the performing-arts community, a new model is springing up to help alleviate some of the financial stress the coronavirus pandemic has caused musicians. OurConcerts.live is launching Saturday with a special benefit concert, featuring violinist Rachel Barton Pine, pianists Emanuel Ax and Jon Kimura Parker, mezzo J’Nai Bridges, clarinetist Anthony McGill, and harpist Bridget Kibbey. Tickets for the benefit, starting at $5, are available at ourconcerts.live, and all proceeds will go to the Artist Relief Tree.
