Thank you to everyone who came to Sounds and Solidarity! After expenses, we collected $1,000, and a generous member who chooses to remain anonymous has matched that amount. We’re sending the amount of $1,000 to each of the Elham Fund and the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, both wonderful organizations sending funds directly to Gazans in need. taken in Tranzac Club by @winchevsky
