It is the birthplace of jazz and represents a musical culture which bears great significance to most every genre today.\u00a0 I can\u2019t imagine what it would feel like to lose my ability to do what I love \u2013 making music. Unfortunately there are many musicians and crew members who continue to struggle since the pandemic. If this multigenerational chain is broken, we lose more than just a few concerts we lose an entire culture that stretches back centuries. Some of the world\u2019s greatest musicians and friends of Music Rising have generously donated their personal instruments to raise money for Music Rising. We hope you have a chance to bid on one or more of the beautiful instruments in the auction. The monies raised goes to musicians and crew. Your support continues to be invaluable to Music Rising.\u201d &#8211;\u00a0 U2\u2019s The Edge<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen we launched Music Rising in 2005 we didn\u2019t have any idea how significant a role the organization would play in helping musicians and music educators for as long as it has.
