Dancing Folk is a brand-new orchestral piece, especially composed by Jeff Moore to bring together professional, amateur and young musicians from all around the world. The joyful, folk-inspired piece is a celebration of music-making and forges connections across the World in these most difficult of times. Between August and October 2020, Dancing Folk reached over 2,500 musicians in 50 countries.
All proceeds from the sales of Dancing Folk will be donated to the charity Help Musicians through the Musicians For Musicians campaign. You can read more about Musicians For Musicians at

Thanks to a kind benefactor, the musical charities in each of the countries represented in the Dancing Folk project will also benefit from sales of the single.
