Announcing our 2023 Listeners Circle Releases
Listeners Circle members are the first to get all of our featured releases — including new recordings and never before heard tracks from the Music Maker archive.
As a member, you get six custom-curated albums delivered to you every year in your choice of digital downloads or CDs, all songs pulled from the rich treasure house of the Music Maker Foundation catalog — as well as new and never-before-heard tracks.
And your subscription helps Music Maker meet an important goal — ensuring that unheard voices come to the public’s attention through recordings that document their music for future generations.
Subscribing to the Listener’s Circle ensures we can keep making these recordings and ensuring they see the light of day. And it ensures that you’ll have access to the best music you’ve never heard.
There’s a lot to look forward to in 2023.
