Over the past decade, free Levitt concerts have inspired audiences across the country to share their #MusicMoves on Instagram, showcasing photos and videos that capture the energy and excitement of their Levitt concert experience. More than just a way for concertgoers to share how much fun they’re having, #MusicMoves is a national campaign that connects Levitt audience members and communities to one another—celebrating how music moves us physically, emotionally, creatively, and collectively.

Audience members who submit images or videos using the hashtag #MusicMoves have the opportunity to win a pair of Apple AirPod Pros—a great way to listen to music on the go! And this year, participating in #MusicMoves can also help the local nonprofit presenting your Levitt music series become eligible to receive a grant! To celebrate the campaign’s 10th anniversary, the Foundation will be giving a $5,000 grant to one nonprofit presenting a Levitt music series that generates at least 50 audience submissions.

“We’re so proud to celebrate the tenth anniversary of #MusicMoves,” said Vanessa Silberman, Executive Vice President of the Levitt Foundation. “Since launching in 2015, we’ve received thousands of creative submissions that capture the joy and connection people experience on Levitt lawns, from vlogs, to artistic renderings of the performance, to personal stories sharing the power of free live music. The photos and videos spotlight the inspiring work our grantee partners are doing to build community through music across the country, from rural communities to major cities.” 

It’s easy to become part of the movement celebrating the power of free, live music: simply post a photo or video of your concert experience on Instagram—before, during, or after the show! Share a selfie, friends enjoying time together on a picnic blanket, a video of friends (new, old, and just-met!) and family dancing the night away, or any other way that music moves you. You can also spotlight how #MusicMoves your community by sharing photos of local vendors, artisans, and nonprofits activating your Levitt lawn. The more you post, the higher chance your community’s Levitt nonprofit has to receive the $5,000 grant!
