Can a piece be for more than one child?

Of course! Pieces for more than one child with some similarity. It could be a brother and sister, a group from a special needs school, a camp supporting kids in wheelchairs. Just make sure it’s a piece with meaning for all!

Who can nominate a child?

Anyone can, however, we look to our producers, songwriters, composers and musicians. The closer they are to the child, the stronger the music produced is. If a nomination comes from the outside, we work to ensure that those working on the gift, become aware of the child. Meetings, video, stories from others all help them get to know the child.

How do I nominate a child?

For the time being, please contact us to nominate a child.  We’re working on on-line submissions for that, but for the time being – we want the personal touch.

What is the age range for the children?

From birth to 21(ish).

There are few, if any, hard rules at Chase the Music. We perform for ‘kids’ and the definition is… squishy.

Note we’ve also performed final rehearsals at senior centers, enabling others to enjoy the music and stories of Chase the Music.

Can it be for more than one child?

Of course! We’ve done a piece for a child with autism, but also dedicated the entire performance to his schoolmates. We’ve had a brother and sister, both born with spina bifida. We’ve done over one hundred kids at a local wheelchair camp. And of course, we’ve done very personal, individualized pieces too.

What children qualify?

Children with critical illnesses, serious injuries, major birth defects, debilitating syndromes and battling extreme crisis situations.

Children are not limited in age. We simply look to if they have a child-like spirit.

Geographically, we support children in globally.
