Community Drive-in Concert series: We began our drive-in concerts as a safe way to gather and listen to live music during the 2020 Pandemic. Guests were able to attend a free show and listen from inside or outside their vehicles, as we had a stage set up while also streamed the event through the radio and social media. As the pandemic eased, the community asked for continuation of these shows because they enjoyed the diverse programming, as well as the unique nature of a drive-in theater. Persons with disabilities can be seated closer or further away from the stage depending on their needs. Immunocompromised individuals can sit farther away in their cars and enjoy a show without worry, yet still feel in community. Families who cannot normally afford multiple tickets to attend concerts can bring their entire family to a show to experience live music without financial constraints. All of the shows are set in a beautiful outdoor setting that promotes healing and community cohesion.

Pop-up series: This program intends to meet our communities where they are by “popping up” and bringing culturally rich shows to various locations. Examples include a pop up at Morongo Valley Elementary School, where we hosted a concert that showcased various instruments, their history, and sounds to schoolchildren. Another example is a pop up concert at High Desert Continuing Care, for elder individuals who cannot leave their care center. Finally, “Mon Petit Salon” is our partnership with the Palm Springs Cultural Center (a 501©3 non-profit), where we host a weekly “salon” in Palm Springs to bring culturally-diverse music to the local community.
