Support our Distant Programming!

In response to the cancellation of scholastic and independent music programs affecting musicians worldwide, River City Rhythm is proud to offer two virtual programs this summer: “Distant Harmonies,” and the "RCR Summer Academy."  

Distant Harmonies is a virtual music experience for all instrumentalists regardless of age or ability.  Musicians from around the world can be a member of our video and audio virtual music collage by simply downloading, recording and submitting the part they wish to play.  Once submissions have been received and compiled, the collage will be made available to share and view worldwide.  

The RCR Summer Academy will soon be launched and will provide virtual educational programming for members throughout the marching arts community.  Participants will receive one-on-one lessons, group masterclasses, and digital performance opportunities with our educators.  

River City Rhythm has always been committed to forming a strong community through the art of performance.  In light of the world’s current situation and the way COVID-19 has upended so many musical experiences forming unprecedented distancing between us, we wish to turn to what we know: the transformative power of music to build connections with others.  Playing your instrument in solitude can be isolating, but in harmony with distant musicians from around the world, we hope to create an exciting opportunity for musicians and concert-goers alike. 

Your donations through GiveMN will help support scholarships and make these opportunities available to all of our students.  Thank you for your support!
