Like many other organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic, Shelter Music Boston pivoted from our live monthly chamber music concerts to digital and virtual concert programs. Although we are still unable to perform for our audiences in person, we have harnessed the power of technology to provide monthly concert videos via our YouTube channel, as well as live virtual programs for children via Zoom. With these platforms, SMB has been able to build new online partnerships with 18 homeless service and recovery organizations that we were not able to serve before the pandemic.
Shelter Music Boston has also prioritized the safety of our musicians and staff during this time by providing masks, COVID-19 testing, and a comprehensive protocol for safe rehearsal and recording.
