IN 2021, THE ORGANIZATION WAS CLOSED THROUGH SEP. 9TH DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. DURING THE CLOSURE PROGRAMMING WAS PRESENTED IN ONLINE FORMS, AND THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED ITS MISSION OF FEATURING AND SUPPORTING PERFORMERS OF TRADITIONAL AND FOLK MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD. OVER 65 CONCERTS AND FESTIVALS WERE REIMAGINED FOR STREAMING PLATFORMS AND PRESENTED THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, REACHING THOUSANDS OF HOUSE-BOUND AUDIENCES FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE. ONCE THE ORGANIZATION REOPENED, WE STAGED CLOSE TO 50 TICKETED CONCERTS FEATURING APPROXIMATELY 180 PERFORMERS OF TRADITIONAL AND FOLK MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

WE OFFERED 183 ONLINE CLASSES FOR ADULTS AND ALSO FACILITATED AN INTENSIVE ONLINE POETRY & MUSIC SERIES FOR BERKELEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHICH LED TO A DEEPER PARTNERSHIP AND PLANS FOR ADDITIONAL COLLABORATIONS WITH THE DISTRICT. WE ALSO HOSTED OVER 20 ONLINE LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS, EITHER ENTIRELY INITIATED BY THE FREIGHT OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND ARTISTS. OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMMING INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM FOLK AND JAZZ TO HIP-HOP AND BLUEGRASS AND BEYOND, AND HELPED THE FREIGHT STAY CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNITY WHILE OUR VENUE WAS CLOSED FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE YEAR.
