Discover SLU: What is the new normal like for Emerald City Music? Are you offering virtual performances?
Andrew Goldstein: Like most businesses, Emerald City Music had to very quickly pivot our plans for the spring and attempt to piece things together in ways that can still serve our community. While we had to cancel or postpone all of our spring events, we still had a big hunger to bring music to our communities; especially knowing the powerful ways music can gather and heal a community in profound ways. We have begun to offer online events that gather our community and feature our artists in new ways. These events include artist interviews, listener call-in experiences, performance videos, and special insights. One of the unexpected fruits of this next experience is that our South Lake Union/Seattle listeners are now engaging with listeners from all over the world who are tuning in for our experiences as well.
