"Musicians On Call"
I am very pleased to announce that I am now a part of this wonderful organization to provide music to patients hopitalized.  My first live performance is at The Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Fort Luaderdale Tuesday, October 20th from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Musicians On Call, a nonprofit organization formed in 1999, brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. 

Musicians On Call uses music to promote and complement the healing process for patients, families and caregivers.
 
Musicians On Call was originally founded by Michael Solomon and Vivek Tiwary in the course of their volunteer work with The Kristen Ann Carr Fund at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

After a concert sponsored by the Kristen Ann Carr Fund, a hospital staff member raised the issue that some of the patients had been unable to attend the performance either because they were in treatment or too sick to leave their rooms. In response, Michael, Vivek and the musician went from room to room to play for those patients who had been unable to attend the concert. The one-on-one interaction of patient and musician created a crucial intimacy; the expressions on the faces of friends and family members at the patients' bedsides revealed a deep sense of connection and release. Musicians On Call was born!
