Description
Seth is organizing a music delivery program for his neighbors. Similar to the winter holiday carol-grams, people can order mini-concerts for their neighbors. The spirit of his project is to reach people who are living alone or feeling marginalized by the current crisis. He and a fellow violinist will deliver mini-concerts to front yards during early summer. Creative Neighborhoods: COVID-19 Work Projects was launched by the Office of Arts + Culture and Create Boulder: https://boulderarts.org/public-art/creative-neighborhoods/covid-19-work-projects/

Hi,
my
name
is
seth
bixler,
I'm
a
violinist
and
I'm
currently
a
a
graduate
graduate
doctoral
student
at
cu.
So
it's
affected
me
in
a
a
number
of
ways,
personally
and
professionally,
but
more
to
the
professionally
side
of
things
yeah.
Just
her
everything
has
been
canceled
concerts
and
rehearsals
that
you
know
how
I
make
my
money.
All
of
these
things
have
been
have
been
cancelled.
In
addition,
a
lot
of
students-
you
know
some,
I
teach
online,
but
some
are
not
wanting
to
do
that.
A
Finally,
you
know
like
summer
summer
time
is
wedding
season
and
it's
usually
when
musicians
especially
string
players
who
play
in
a
quartet
or
something
can
make
a
you
know,
a
decent
amount
of
money,
and
obviously
all
of
that
work
has
been
canceled
playing.
Music
is
inherently
like
a
very
social
thing.
You
don't
go
play
a
concert
for
nobody
and
it's
rare
that
you
would
play
a
concert
completely
by
yourself
and
so
both
on
stage
and
from
a
performer
audience
perspective.
A
Part
of
my
life
and
part
of
what
I
do
is
play
music
with
and
for
other
people,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
sort
of
bring
miniature
concerts
to
people
who
can't
really
leave
their
homes.
I'm
just
sort
of
set
up
safely
away
from
their
house,
but
in
you
know,
in
the
front
yard
or
on
the
sidewalk
in
front
and
play
a
miniature
concert
for
them,
and
you
know
bring
a
fellow
musician
with
me
to
to
play
this
like
very
loosely
defined
concert.
A
And
the
idea
is
that
if
somebody
in
martin
acre
so
it's
like
a
specifically
neighborhood
oriented
project.
If
somebody
in
martin
acres
knew
of
somebody
who
was
living
on
their
own
isolated,
they
would
be
able
to
send
me
an
email
and-
and
we
would
go
and
play
that
concert.
And
so
I've
been
sort
of
talking.
There's
this
woman,
martha
suarez,
who
is
a
community
organized
organizer
in
martin
acres,
and
we
have
finally
a
list
of
potential
homes
to
go
visit
when
we
can
get
the
project
started.
