It's not your average recital.
But just when we were going to have our first big show, where we had done citywide auditions, that's when the pandemic hit. Literally our first show was planned for two weeks after schools closed. So we shifted. We recorded everyone, videos and audio of everybody in the rehearsal rooms, and we did a livestream. And when we did the livestream, suddenly we were starting to hear from people from around the world. Musicians were reaching out to us to get involved.
A big part of the Kids Rock for Kids experience are the concerts themselves. Masha and Bay, what are your favorite parts about playing music live for other people?: I'd say that the crowd interactions are quite awesome, because you see people who are just like so in the music that you play that they're moving and dancing and just laughing. It's good to be able to connect with people in that way.
