Welcome to LiveConnections!
Founded in 2008 by a team of artists, educators and entrepreneurs, LiveConnections is dedicated to connecting all kinds of people through all kinds of music. LiveConnections programs cross boundaries and encourage listeners to move beyond what music they are familiar with, what instruments belong together, what music should be heard where. Through its Bridge Sessions for youth, its ClassicAlive! events and its new live-streaming initiative Collaborative Connections, LiveConnections seeks to spark learning that’s hands-on and alive and engagement with music across generations and backgrounds. Programming takes place at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia and Wilmington.

It's exciting to see our students so engaged, so enthusiastic about participating, filled with such authentic curiosity... You did such a wonderful job connecting, and bridging your musical passions with what's relevant and important to our students. I felt like we could have stayed there all day.

Spotlight Profile:
Doc Gibbs
Philadelphia percussion mainstay Doc Gibbs has played with the likes of Grover Washington, Wyclef Jean, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker and Erykah Badu and for years was musical director for the Emeril Live! show. A committed educator, Doc has been an important part of LCO's programming.
"Music is gone out of most of the public schools of Philadelphia. When I was going to school there were bands and orchestras in every high school. For kids not to have music, they're missing a lot. That's why what LiveConnections is doing matters so much—it's getting kids to experience the power and change that music can bring."
