Tonal Fusion

What started as two friends deciding to put together a duo piano concert in the fall of 2017, has been formalized in 2018 as Duo DiMeo, but, we're not just looking to play typical duo-piano concerts, we also want to make a difference, by exploring lesser known works, performing them alongside standards in the repertoire. Taking our performances a step further, we also want to support organizations that address current social issues facing humanity by sponsoring them and giving them a platform.  In this case, it's "Move the Nuclear Weapons Money" a civic movement to be held concurrent with the first ever UN High-Level Conference on Nuclear Disarmament, scheduled for May 10-16 of this year.  The movement highlights what the money that goes into nuclear weapons development could instead be used for society's benefit in general, i.e. combatting climate change, ending hunger, peace and humanitarian efforts, etc. (more information available on the links provided below).
The funds we are raising for is intended to cover the cost of producing the concert, i.e. to pay our fellow musicians, page turners, coaching, transportation of instruments, marketing materials, etc.
Being that the concert/conference is happening in the coming six weeks, and that our rehearsals with our collaborators as well as coaching are scheduled in the second week of April, it would really be of great help to us if we have a portion of the fundraising goal available as soon as possible.
As musicians who are trying to make a difference, in being able to put more meaning in what we do, in an endeavor that is quite new to us in concept, your support is not only necessary for our mission's success, but more importantly it will show us and other musicians that indeed art, music being amongst the highest level of artistic expression is not only important but also a way to reach people, bridge differences, and create harmony.  
The amount required to run the concert is $7,000.00.  We are adding an additional aim of $5,000.00 to contribute to "Count the Nuclear Weapons Money".  Your contribution could help secure Times Square (as part of New York Design), or a similar high-impact location for the money counting and installation of the 1 million counted notes (each of $1 million value).
We are beyond grateful, in advance, for your support and sharing in our mission as well as our vision, and the mission of "Move the Nuclear Weapons Money", because in the end, the success of this movement will benefit mankind as a whole.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
