Violin-Building Fundraiser For Musician Aid

To raise aid for musicians struggling due to pandemic-caused gig cancellations, our friend and professional violin maker Jacob Brillhart has committed to donating and raffling a violin valued at $10,000 that he will be building over Facebook live. He will be working double time, from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, starting March 26, in an attempt to respond to the immediacy of this disastrous situation. Respected bowmakers Eben Bodach-Turner and Evan Orman will be collaborating on a violin bow, valued at $5,000, which they will also be donating with Brillhart’s violin. Seven Stars Arts Center in Sharon Vermont is handling donations and raffle ticket sales, and aiming to raise $50,000 (!) by the May 16 drawing. 

Violin-building proceeds will give aid to musicians around the country who are facing terrible financial difficulty! Donate or purchase tickets here: https://go.rallyup.com/musicianaid
