Sending Funds to MusiCares

The devastating wildfires have deeply impacted Los Angeles, taking so much from our city and the artists who call it home. Many musicians have been profoundly affected, and the list continues to grow.

At Hearts of Music Fund, we are honored to ensure your donations go directly to those in need. We’re supporting MusiCares, an organization dedicated to providing critical assistance to music professionals.

From this point forward, we encourage you to donate directly to MusiCares to maximize the impact of your generosity: https://musicares.org/?form=donate.

If you are a musician affected by these wildfires, please reach out to MusiCares for assistance: https://musicares.tfaforms.net/31.

As always, the music community continues to show incredible resilience and compassion. Your support means the world, and we thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude,


The Hearts of Music Fund Team

Trombone Christmas 2024 a Roaring Success!

It was a nearly full house at Emmanual Lutheran Church on December 15, 2024. Bill Reichenbach led a 51-piece trombone choir playing all the excellent holiday arrangements he is known for. Here is a photo Jerry Hey took, and we will post more as they come in. The generosity was high, and so was the enthusiasm. The plates were passed, and the fund received over $5,000 to help musicians in crisis.

Trombone Christmas 2023

Trombones LA once again offers this free concert on December 10, 2023 to usher in your Christmas and holiday celebrations. We hope you’ll come and join us at:

Emmanuel Lutheran Church

6020 Radford Avenue

North Hollywood, CA 91606

This free concert starts at 7 p.m., but doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The yearly “Trombones LA” concert is the Hearts of Music Fund’s biggest and best fundraising effort of the year. Your generous donation supports musicians and their families facing extraordinary health care expenses in situations of illness or death. In fact, your financial gift brings holistic healing and hope in situations when other funding support is limited or unavailable. All gifts are tax-deductible.

Trombones LA CDs will be available for purchase at the concert for your gift-giving needs.

With thanks,

Bill Reichenbach

Trombone Christmas in 2020 – Here’s a Little Treat

Since we couldn’t have our regular Trombone Christmas this year, I got together with the only socially distanced trombone choir I could afford…me! I hope you enjoy this and I wish everyone a safe and sane Holiday! I hope you are able to make a year end donation to help those professional musicians in medical crisis! ~ Bill Reichenbach

Hearts of Music Fund – a 501 c 3 non profit organization

hearts-logo-tiny-1The Hearts of Music Fund is a non-profit fund established to assist musicians with emergency medical needs. Many musicians, although working, do not have or qualify for medical insurance and, as we all know, illness and accidents don’t check for medical coverage before striking. Created in 2003, Hearts of Music Fund has been raising money by offering concerts every Christmas season by the Trombones-L.A. trombone choir. They perform holiday music (arranged and conducted by Bill Reichenbach) at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 6020 Radford Ave., N. Hollywood, CA 91606.
