I'm Standing with You - A Musical Collaboration in support of the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund

We couldn't have asked for a better more fitting way to end our 20th season!

TMCO is honored to have been invited to be part of the #ImStandingWithYou project, a global musical collaboration and a humanitarian effort to help spread love, unity, gratitude, and healing through music while raising funds to those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The song features 170 musicians from all around the world who have joined together to create a music video of the Oscar nominated original song "I’m Standing With You” written by iconic songwriter Diane Warren, in support of the United Nations Foundation COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund (#covid19fund) for the World Health Organization (WHO). The arrangement of the song is by Emmy nominated TV/Film composer Sharon Farber and directed by award-winning director Gev Miron.

This project features the Texas Medical Center Orchestra, famous singers from around the world, Spirit of David Gospel Choir, and Los Angeles instrumentalists and singers.

Thank you Diane Warren and Sharon Farber for inviting us to be part of this humanitarian effort! We hope the time capsule you created will be a source of strength and inspiration to people all around the world.
