Ovation TV, the only independent television and digital media company dedicated to the arts, announced today a generous $5,000 contribution to
a GoFundMe campaign to save Birdland Jazz Club, a historic New York City music venue, from permanent closure.
Birdland Jazz Club, which first opened its doors in 1949, announced on January 2nd that it was at risk of shuttering permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which it has been unable to host a single performance.
