Supporting Our Musicians
With voluntary contributions from the CDNY community, the Board of Directors has established a special fund to support the musicians of CDNY who have lost income in the time of COVID-19. If you are a musician who’s been on our calendar and is interested in doing an online performance for pay, or if you would like to donate to such a fund please click HERE for more information.
A Musical Gift to the Community
Even though the Playford Ball was cancelled, the music for it was recorded by three outstanding CDNY musicians: Cynthia Shaw, piano and harpsichord; Naomi Morse, violin; and Gene Murrow, concertina and recorder. While the CD normally sells for $10, CDNY’s Board of Directors has opted to make a gift of that music to our community as another way to keep the music and dance that sustain us present in our lives. To access a free download of the Ball recording, click HERE. If you have the means and are so disposed, you can also make a free-will donation to help support the musicians who played in the past season for CDNY.
