We successfully completed a large-scale recording that engaged more musicians than planned, including an expert in South American drumming who taught our percussionists specific techniques and brought rare, but critical, instruments for our recording. This project also allowed our organization stay active during the pandemic and helped us maintain our connection with our audiences. We were able to add an "open rehearsal" to our project and bring the music of this recording to a small, distanced live audience. We evaluated the success of this project through feedback from our board and the musicians involved in the project, both via email and in person. All of the musicians were extremely happy with the work we did and the process and expressed their desire to perform this music again live in concert in the future. The buzz generated by the project also brought us a new major donor who helped us purchase our own set of the rare instruments from Venezuela (now 1 of 4 sets in the USA).
