"My wife and I lost our home in Altadena on January 7 - 8, 2025, in the Eaton Fire. Our entire community was devastated. As musicians, we lost our instruments, score libraries, electronics, and entire home studios. We have been incredibly fortunate to have received the generous support of friends, family, and organizations like Musicians Foundation. The grant we received has helped us to cover expenses over the past month, and this has really eased the burden of what we've lost." Nic Gerpe, LA-based pianist affected by the LA Fires in January 2025. Thank you, Nic, for enriching our communities with your music. You are an inspiration for all of us. Keep on going!
