Mark your calendars! Join us for the world premiere of “We are the World” Tuesday, May 12, 2020 @ 7 PM EST here on Bravo Niagara!’s Facebook page!

Introducing Bravo Niagara! AMPLIFIED
Created in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, this new virtual video recording series produced by Bravo Niagara Festival of the Arts will bring together our global family of artists and audiences.

Our first AMPLIFIED music video “We are the World” features over 150 artists recording remotely from their homes.

2020 marks 35 years since the release of the iconic song “We are the World” written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones. The words still ring true today.

Now more than ever, music has the power to uplift our spirits and give hope for a better day.
