View our latest 2022-2023 Tosco Music Impact Report that reviews our mission, programs and community impact. Thank you to everyone who helps make Tosco Music's impact possible!

John Tosco has been presenting Tosco Music Parties in Charlotte for more than 35 years, and Tosco Music became a nonprofit organization in 1999 that serves musicians of all ages and genres, supports artists with access to spaces to create and perform, and provides access to the arts for underserved communities. Read more about Tosco Music's history here.

Tosco Music brings music into the community at approximately 100 activities and 30 locations throughout Charlotte each year, with half of those provided for older adults in the communities where they live. These performances provide paid opportunities for a wide variety of local musicians, hundreds each year.

Annually, we also support hundreds of performances at our monthly, family-friendly open mic, including many musicians across the age spectrum who are bravely taking the stage for the first time.

Since starting our music scholarship program, Tosco Music has awarded more than $55,000 to help 114 youth and adult musicians further their skills, including a dozen new winners in January 2025!

And we continue to bring the community together to enjoy great variety and incredible talent at Tosco Music Parties at Knight Theater. We celebrated our 100th TMP in April 2022, our 20th Tosco Music Beatles Tribute last year, and December 2025 marked our 10th annual Tosco Music Holiday Party! See video and photo highlights of past TMPs here.
