Christopher
Duigan, owner and founder of the KZN-based Music Revival, has released this
update:
Many 'thank you's to everyone who has
donated to Music Revival! We have received support from a large number of
regular supporters who have donated the equivalent of concert tickets after watching
our online livestreams. This has helped enormously. Others donated after having
experienced our concerts for the first time. Several individuals have also been
very generous with substantial donations. For all these contributions we are
extremely grateful. Your support has sustained us comfortably through the first
month! We ideally do like to thank and acknowledge all donors individually so
please do check that your full name is included in any EFT payment reference.
VISITS
Our website, a major source of our
community contribution, has been visited by 2,672 visitors in the last 30 days,
peaking at 415 visits on March 29, the first day of lockdown.
LIVE-STREAMS
We invite you to join the 'crowd' and view
the current and most recent performances on our website. Using headphones will
increase the enjoyment!
Our livestreams are offered on various
platforms on Thursday and Saturday at 18h00. Gather your popcorn and snacks,
and a glass of something!
For best sound and audio watch on Vimeo or at
our website www.musicrevival.co.za
YouTube is easily accessible
Facebook pages offer the possibility to
comment, say 'Hi', respond and see who else you know is online watching.
You can also watch these after the event on
our website.
NEW
- PATREON
Please visit and subscribe to our new
Patreon page.
We have established a PATREON page. Those
who subscribe at a monthly charge will receive access to private information,
videos, advance notice of events and inside/ 'behind the scenes' info!
Although little content is loaded (we are
running behind!) we start two major projects this week. The first is a weekly
article covering various subjects relating to the personas experiences and
observations of presenting online concerts, entrepreneurial approaches to
concertising, aspects of a pianist's life and even recipes served at our home
concerts!
Patreon is a very useful platform in that
the pledge of a monthly support creates a regular and predictable income
stream. This not only supports the online concerts (which we aim to keep free
to the public) but is in exchange for exclusive content only patrons will have
access to.
SUGGEST?
I am also asking for input on what our
audiences would like to see in addition to our online services - more concerts,
more discussion, organised music-appreciation courses? Please let us know at
chris@musicrevival.co.za
