SUMMARY:Moving Parts: DEAR Benefit Concert with Paul and Joel
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for a special evening of music performed by the Dresher Davel Invented Instrument Duo in support of the Dresher Ensemble Artist Residency (DEAR).\nKnown for their extraordinary\, hand-built instruments—including the Quadrachord and Hurdy Grande—the duo creates immersive\, visually striking performances unlike anything you’ve seen or heard before. \nThis one-night-only event directly supports DEAR\, a program that gives artists the time\, space\, and resources to bring bold new work to life. \nEach year\, DEAR supports six artists with a four-week residency that includes 24/7 access to our studio\, professional production technologies\, and dedicated mentorship. The full cost of each residency to our organization is approximately $10\,000. \nA key part of that support is a $1\,500 production stipend per artist—funding that often makes the difference between an idea and a realized performance. \nThis year\, we are working to raise $9\,000 to cover the total stipend support for all six residents. \nFor many years\, the National Endowment for the Arts helped make this support possible. However\, for the second year in a row\, our application was not selected. At the core of DEAR is a simple commitment: to serve the full breadth of our Bay Area community. The artists we support reflect that reality—spanning diverse backgrounds and perspectives\, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists—and\, as federal funding priorities have shifted\, this commitment is no longer aligned with the current regime’s guidelines. \nAs funding priorities evolve\, community support is more essential than ever to sustain a program that remains open\, inclusive\, and artist-centered. \nJoin Us\nExperience an unforgettable performance—and help sustain a program that makes new work possible.
