"Shelter Sounds"

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow, in coordination with the Forum for Cultural Engagement and the American Center in Moscow, has launched a series of virtual discussions to continue a cultural dialogue between Russians and Americans during a time of limited cultural performances and travel due to the effects of Covid-19.

The 'Shelter Sounds Virtual Cultural Program

What can we learn from the day-to-day lives of musicians working to transcend human differences and geographic boundaries?

Shelter Sounds is a unique series featuring music videos and conversations with leading American musicians streamed from their homes in the U.S. Featuring exceptional artists who play a vast range of musical styles, including pop, rock, jazz, go-go, folk, soul and R&B, Shelter Sounds offers an intimate view of the day-to-day lives of musicians who are writing, producing and creating music live from their homes.

All events livestreamed on the Facebook page of the American Center in Moscow on Fridays, 7:00-8:00 p.m. Moscow time / 12:00-1:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time.

We invite you to join “Shelter Sounds” — a weekly series of music videos and conversations with American musicians and bands who have recently toured Russia.
