Groupmuse operates a statewide network that supports artists and arts organizations. Together, with members of that network we present live music (classical, jazz, folk, roots, Indian classical, and beyond) in unexpected and non-traditional venues (living rooms, backyards, parks, warehouses, distilleries, art galleries) through an online and in-person network of musicians, hosts, and audiences. Our live music programming falls into these three categories:

1) Groupmuse house concerts – These concerts are at the core of Groupmuse’s work, taking place in the homes and backyards of our network of hosts. Musicians are given total creative freedom to play a 45-60 minute set for a diverse audience.

2) Massivemuses – These are larger-scale concerts of 50+ attendees in public/community spaces, such as co-working spaces, distilleries, or public parks.

3) Planetary Music Movement (PMM) Events – These concert series, began in 2021, features Black musicians and composers. Curated and directed by cellist Dara Hankins and saxophonist Alfredo Colon, PMM events provide professional videography and recording services for musicians to help jumpstart their ability to apply for residencies, grants, and other performance opportunities.

Groupmuse also provides support services for freelance musicians, facilitating in person and virtual meet-ups, educational opportunities, and professional development workshops to advance our mission of fostering solidarity between artists.
