We strongly encourage additional donations during your purchase. Katherine Needleman generously wants donated funds to go to An die Musik Live to ensure that it will flourish for another 18 years of music presentation. (2020 marks the An die Musik music store's 30th Anniversary and An die Musik Live's 18th year since presenting our first concert, in partnership with the Embassy of France).
** We discourage sharing the link, as the money raised through this endeavor benefits the artists, who are not able to perform during this challenging time.**
