The Fundraiser:
The goal of this project is to raise funds to convert Phoenix Collective’s 2020 concert programs into digital, high-quality audio and visual presentations. The project is particularly important during a time of uncertainty and financial hardship for Australian artists, when all are being asked to do more with less, while still thinking outside the box.
