The New England Musicians Relief Fund (NEMRF) was founded in 2020 as an independent non-profit philanthropy dedicated to providing financial assistance and resources for musicians experiencing unexpected or catastrophic income loss. The fund aims to help musicians from every musical genre and career stage: from the classical cellist to the blues singer, from the 40-year veteran -- to the young star searching for a breakthrough. Those looking to support the fund can do so at NEMRF.org.

Pianist Sergey Schepkin will live stream a series of Beethoven sonatas Sunday, November 8, Sunday, December 6 and Sunday, January 10. Tickets for all of the shows are available now at Glissandoconcerts.com. All proceeds benefit the New England Musician Relief Fund.
