Dear Friends,

 

2020 has been a memorable year. While it may not be marked as a good year, nevertheless, at EPIC we are grateful for all the silver linings it has brought. We are thankful that it brought us appreciation for the important aspects of life, those things that identify humanity - love, kindness and sharing with those we care about. In the beginning of this pandemic, we took a risk with the belief that music has a great power to unite people for good. This, of course, would not be possible without you. You helped us bring to fruition something necessary during this time - innovative, fine, and LIVE music.
