As it is known, the majority of music schools and companies in the music sector carry out their activities in the first floors and street level premises, these have been severely damaged in recent days due to the effects of the storm in various municipalities in the province of Valencia. Floods, damage to facilities, as well as countless losses of instruments and material, are a serious blow to a sector already punished by the precariousness and scarcity of resources.

Faced with this situation , the Valencian Association for Musical Entities (ASVEM) has opened a bank account to create a common fund to centralize contributions to alleviate the effects of the dramatic situation facing the Valencian music industry. 

The initiative starts with 1,000€ from the association itself and hopes that other contributions from its board of directors, individuals, organizations ,municipalities, associations, companies and supporters of the music world will join.

Through an  account at Caixa Popular and a Gofundme campaign, ASVEM will distribute the contributions among those affected, in order of priority: music schools, non-profit organizations, self- employed artists and SMBs (Small and Medium sized Businesses).

The email  address of the association (ayudas@asvem.es) is made available to the affected entities and companies so they may communicate their case with a detailed report of damages, as well as their list of most urgent needs, in order to channel the funds in the fairest and most efficient way. 

From ASVEM, we would like to deeply thank all the members of the music sector and those who have shown their solidarity in this critical time. Any support is essential to help our musical communities conquer this difficult situation and support our friends in the affected areas.  We appreciate every contribution, big or small, that will help rebuild the Valencian musical sector. Also, if you need a certificate of your donation, please send us the receipt and your info to ayudas@asvem.es so we can manage it. Thank you for showing, once again, that together we are stronger!

Without Music, our Community will never be the same ❤‍🩹🎵‼
