FUSIONpresents does not tolerate any form of racism. The word fusion implies the joining of more than one thing to create a new thing, and that is exactly what FUSIONpresents aspires to do - fuse talent and present art. There is no room for racism, discrimination and pre-conceived judgments in our universe, and we make it a priority to ensure that every single artist, student and venue we work with is on the same page. We must all strive for enlightenment, open- mindedness, empathy and understanding, all with the purpose to help. That is our purpose. It is all of our purpose. In light of what’s going on around the world right now, we’re reaching out to our FP community to raise money and awareness for the Black Lives Matter movement. We’re also donating all funds from all new students for the week of June 7 - June 14 to this cause. Let’s all work together to end systemic racism. We also would like to take this important opportunity to acknowledge that the land on which FUSIONpresents is based and headquartered is the traditional and unceded territory of Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Kwantlen, Katzie, Semiahmoo, and Tsawwassen First Nations. As we move through Phase 2 to Phase 3 during these Covid times, many of our venues have re-opened, exercising social distancing protocols and limited capacity. We are working with our partners on re-introducing live music soon. In the meantime, we continue with our weekly scheduled live stream programming. Monday Night Radio with The 9th Brothers every Monday at 8pm, chronicling the history of FUSIONpresents from its inception in 2002 till today. The program includes demo, live, and studio recordings from our past and present catalogue as well as live interviews with those amazing people that helped FUSIONpresents become what it is today. Our Sunday Night Jam is always a big hit, with hundreds of viewers every week watching artists from the global FP Talent Community perform their songs. Please contact us today if you’d like to participate and sing your songs live! We’ll make sure that you’re all set up with Live Streaming so we can have you on the program! FUSIONpresents continues its work with the City of Surrey and Surrey Civic Theatres to showcase the artists we love and work with through the FP Artist Showcase. Our third showcase featuring the wonderful David Symons takes place on Friday June 12 at 7pm on the City of Surrey’s YouTube channel! Be sure to tune in. Our weekly live stream Music Lessons series continues on Wednesdays and we’ve already covered so much ground with basic music theory and an introduction to piano, guitar and drums! Check out our past lessons here and tune in on Wednesdays at 8pm on FP Facebook for more fantastic information to help you speak the universal language of music! If you haven’t already, please follow or like us on your favourite social media platforms (click the icon) and stay tuned to all the fantastic live streaming content we’ll be sharing multiple times a week to the comfort of your couch! We are reaching out to our community to help support the Black Lives Matter movement. All funds raised will be distributed equally to Black Lives Matter in the US and Black Youth Helpline in Canada.
