The Musicians’ Fund
Apollo’s Fire established the Musicians’ Fund in March 2020 to support our musicians who are facing severe loss of income during the coronavirus pandemic. Through this fund, AF has paid its musicians over $170,000 in partial fees for canceled concerts during the pandemic and in modest “COVID-19 Relief Grants” to those of our core musicians who were most in need. AF is continuing to support our musicians this season. The larger concert programs that had been planned before the pandemic are now replaced with smaller chamber programs that can be performed with physical distancing on stage. Some of the money from the Musicians’ Fund will be steered to regular AF musicians who are not included in the chamber programs but who would have performed in the larger programs that were originally planned. AF will also provide another round of COVID Relief Grants to our core musicians who are most in need. Thank you to all of you who have donated to this program. You are truly making a difference in the lives of AF’s most precious resource.... its Musicians.
