The Gardenia Society’s focus is music appreciation
Music Appreciation is People Appreciation
Our Twitch.tv channel is the main stage for our programs and provides an interactive point of engagement. The channel supports a variety of content as we:
- stream the playing of donated records
- stream live performances
- host interviews on multiple topics
Audiences from around the world join together for entertainment and cultural awareness. We are uniquely positioned to discuss periods of American history through music. American culture is dynamic as it is infused with the cultures of our new citizens
Along with our Twitch channel, we host live performances and provide tour support for emerging artists.
We partner with traditional venues while building our network of :
- schools
- homes
- high-density housing
- corporate campuses.
This effort is aimed at reducing touring expenses and enriching the local music community.
Music Appreciation is usually a formal investigation of the ways in which music is created and enjoyed. The various instruments and arrangements are studied as a way to articulate what is happening during a musical performance. We attempt to take a more informal approach and focus on the musician as a person within the context of their times. In particular, Jazz and Blues as America’s contribution to world music are looked at in terms of the Black American Experience. As these genres are relatively recent and are enabled by advances in technology; we strive to understand the “whole picture” from the person, technology, and business issues.

We thank the generous donors that have given us their family record collection. Now that we have a mass of vintage material, we are committed to playing each record at least once and either adding it to our collection or passing along to others.
We will play the records on our Twitch Show – Rainy Day Radio.
