ABOUT: Tosco Music is a nonprofit organization that presents a wide variety of music through performances and outreach programs; fosters a sense of community among listeners and performers, and connects professional and amateur musicians to share and inspire one another.
Born from intimate living room jam sessions in Charlotte, NC, Tosco Music Parties have grown into popular community concerts where nationally recognized acts share the stage with undiscovered artists and audience members are invited to sing along throughout the evening. From concerts and open mic nights to music scholarships and outreach, Tosco Music is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the community explore, develop and share their passion for music in all its forms.
In 2018, we celebrated 30 years of music parties and our 20th year as a nonprofit organization. Our mission is supported by generous support from our Living Room Society, Tosco Music Members, the Arts & Science Council, as well as through earned revenue from ticketed events and community outreach services. In 2019, Tosco Music presented live music at almost 100 different events and activities in 31 different locations throughout Charlotte and provided paid performance opportunities for more than 150 musicians. With the addition of our inaugural FabFest-Charlotte's Beatles Festival, overall participation in our programs surpassed 14,000!
