While New York City is home to thousands of talented musicians, it’s also home to thousands of isolated people. Founder Jennifer Carnahan Glaz (https://www.concertsinmotion.org/meet-the-team) envisioned the bridge between them, and Concerts in Motion (CIM) was born. Since 2009, CiM have brought personalized live music and engagement to older adults, veterans, Holocaust Survivors, individuals with disabilities, individuals with mental illness, individuals experiencing housing and food insecurity, and hospitalized patients of all ages.

Concerts in Motion engage a diverse community of talented professional and student musicians who travel across the New York metro area to perform concerts. Concerts in Motion is a New York City-based 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
