A Conscious Tune is making preparations for our first benefit concert series. Watch for updates.

 

* VISION *

ACT benefit concerts are designed to bring the New Orleans spirit to any location. ACT will target key U.S. cities to emphasize to their music communities that New Orleans is still in need of attention and aid if we want to rebuild one of the greatest cultural and musical icons of our country. These concerts will feature New Orleans musicians and other nationally renowned bands as well as a second-line brass band to provide the interactive musical experience that is usually found only in New Orleans. On top of all that, an inspiring and vivacious New Orleans cultural icon will preside as Master of Ceremonies. ACT will also exhibit local photography and art to illustrate the multifaceted nature of New Orleans and the Louisiana Wetlands.

One of the main objectives of these benefit concerts is to spread education about New Orleans to a national audience and to motivate people to volunteer and play their own role in the vigor that is rebuilding our city. To enhance the New Orleans experience, locally designed Mardi Gras floats that serve as outreach booths will distribute Mardi Gras throws along with information highlighting some of the organizations that are actively repairing the city. Information will be presented on specific nonprofits and ways in which people can volunteer and donate directly to rebuilding efforts.

Though ACT does not currently have 501(c)(3) status, all business is conducted on a not-for-profit basis. ACT is not trying to create a huge volunteer base or develop a large staff; rather, A Conscious Tune is concerned with helping existing programs that display positive results within their organizations, thus allowing ACT to concentrate on successful fundraising in order to contribute to the groups that are already doing the best work in our city. Profits generated through these programs will be allocated to community-based initiatives, groups dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of New Orleans, those working to improve education and groups providing music education programs. ACT thoroughly researches the organizations to which proceeds will be allocated by carefully choosing groups that are dedicated and working hands-on to provide positive improvement to the infrastructure of New Orleans and the Louisiana Wetlands. ACT promises to monitor the on-going efforts of these groups in order to make sure that the money raised is continuously spent effectively and having a measurable impact on rebuilding New Orleans.

ACT hopes that the spread of New Orleans music, the speakers at these concerts, the outreach booths and this website will teach the music community and the public at large more about our unique city and inspire people to contribute. Through this method of outreach, ACT is striving to play its own role in reviving, preserving and nourishing the culture of New Orleans... Yea you right.

A Conscious Tune is dedicated in loving memory to Sarah Ann Venning. Sarah is the co-founder of ACT & helps inspire every aspect of this company. She was a healer, massage therapist, doula & friend among many other specialties that most of us could barely imagine understanding at such a young age. Sarah is & will always be a part of us & all whom we touch. Let her memory remind us of the importance of nurturing our relationships. May we celebrate her life & realize that no matter what else may be happening in the world, each day is as much of a blessing & a miracle as the day each of us were born. Sarah’s passion, dedication, enthusiasm & spirit will always be driving forces behind A Conscious Tune.
