During this difficult time, as a way of thanking the singers, instrumentalists, arrangers, and composers that have contributed to our musical mission, the LADM/Rumbarroco Peer Relief Fund has been established to support the artists who have performed with our ensembles in the past as well as those who were about to perform in our 2020 concerts.

The Fund

Our Board of Directors has approved an initial budget of $3,000 to support these musicians. We will also be accepting donations to increase the funding.

Musicians will have the opportunity to apply for support in the amount of $150 per person.

Who Can Apply

Priority will be given to freelancers scheduled to perform with our ensembles in March and April 2020. After disbursement of the first round of support, we will continue to collect donations to support this fund. Those additional funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis among musicians, arrangers, and composers who have performed or worked with La Donna Musicale or Rumbarroco in the past.

How To Apply

Please complete the following survey to apply. The application process will close on Friday, April 24 at 6:00 PM EST. If you have any issues completing the application, please email ladonna@ladm.org.

Announcement and Distribution of the Fund

We plan to mail checks shortly after the application deadline.
