Here is how you can join in the 32 hours of musical performance & instruction. Seminars run daily from 1-5pm (US Central Standard Time), from August 12th to 16th. Performances run from 6:30-9:30pm on the same days. We intend to save the daily videos on the SPAH YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbJlie6bVGh8JhVCO-XLtsg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbJlie6bVGh8JhVCO-XLtsg after they are shown during SPAH Week, so you can watch at another time if it is more convenient.
There is a https://www.spah.org/ Waiting Room that will take you to a YouTube Live page to watch all of the daily performances and seminars. If you wish to do so, you should be able to use chat to send a note to the performer or presenter during the seminars and shows.
The Waiting Room is accessible from the SPAH Website CONVENTION tab, or using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbJlie6bVGh8JhVCO-XLtsg

Please share this link with anyone who you think may enjoy the shows!
