“The COVID crisis is existential for the many thousands of freelance artists across the country. We cannot have a meaningful artistic life without them; they are essential! I’m so grateful to ART for leaping into action to address this urgent need, and invite everyone to join me in supporting them.” - Jonathan Biss

The recital is free to watch, but viewers are encouraged to donate to ART, which has been established to support artists affected financially by COVID-19.
