"After the Deluge, an Outpouring of Support From Afar"
The New York Times, Dec. 19, 2012

A notebook about (Re)New Amsterdam, a remarkable show of solidarity in which Chicago's young, vital new-music community participated in an afternoon marathon concert meant to raise funds for New Amsterdam, an invaluable New York City record label and fledgling concert presenter that suffered devastating losses during and after Hurricane Sandy. The details are all in the article, but it's important to note that New Amsterdam can still benefit from your assistance. Read this page for more information, and give what you can.

Hats off to Marcos Balter, Doyle Armbrust and all of the amazing Chicago musicians who participated in this inspiring event. I expect to hear more from all of you.
