Dear MMC Members and Friends,
We are watching your streaming gigs, we are following your stories, and we miss you in real life.
If you are struggling, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and reference the COVID-19 Resource List found on our website, and just below in this email. Music supporters, please donate as you are able to the organizations listed below.

We at the MMC are planning weekly web workshops to get needed info out to our members, and the Minnesota music community at large. We'll be asking for input on what would be most useful at this time.
Members and friends have really stepped up to help and support one another with kindness, generosity, and fortitude. We encourage you to keep it up, keep your spirits up, let your music be your refuge and your creativity be your release. Check on your people and encourage their art.
We can't wait to see what music springs from this weird era, we can't wait to see you online, and we can't wait to see you in real life again, soon!
Peace and music,
Mary McKoskey - Board Chair
