CiM Pop-Up Concert at The Shops at Columbus Circle
Concerts in Motion (CiM) provides uplifting musical concerts and conversation to isolated individuals. We also work to build community around this mission by recruiting local musicians and helping to bridge the gap between the needs within a community and its existing resources.
Thank you to The Shops at Columbus Circle for hosting us today!
Since 2009, Concerts in Motion has been proud to bring music and joy to the Upper West Side community! And we wouldn't be able to do this without our vibrant roster of professional and student musicians, many of whom live here, and YOU, the wonderful community of music-lovers and New Yorkers who love this city as much as we do! This concert is a way for us to share that love, and we welcome you to get to know us if we haven't met before.
