WXPN Musicians On Call
WXPN Musicians On Call is the non-profit partnership between WXPN and the successful New York-based Musicians On Call program. WXPN Musicians On Call brings live music to the bedsides of patients in area healthcare facilities including The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden. This pioneering collaboration is the first expansion beyond New York.

Founded in 1999 Musicians On Call uses music and entertainment to promote healing in eight New York hospitals including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Children's Hospital at Montefiore, and the New York University Medical Center.

Volunteer Your Time and Talent as a Musician
Generally, we look for soloists and duos to play. Volunteer Musicians perform for hospital patients and their families in private rooms, waiting areas, and recreation rooms. We ask that you commit to 12 hospital visits per year. On the average this works out to a minimum monthly time requirement of two hours per month. And, you will get so much joy in return!

Here's How Musicians Like You Can Apply:

• Do you have a website that features your music?
  Then fill out and submit our online application. Be sure to include your website's URL, so that we can listen to your music!
• Or, you can download the WXPN Musicians On Call Volunteer Application (21KB PDF), complete the information requested and mail it to:
  WXPN Musicians On Call
  Attn: Volunteer Musicians
  1133 Broadway, Suite 630
  New York, NY 10010

We'll evaluate your package and notify you regarding whether you have been accepted into the program. Following an orientation, musicians are scheduled and perform at hospitals in the Philadelphia area. You will have direct contact with the Musicians On Call office, hospital staff, patients and their families.

Volunteer Your Time as a Guide
Guides are the "eyes and ears" of MOC musicians. Guides meet musicians at the hospital, communicate with hospital staff, introduce musicians to patients, walk with musicians as they go from room to room, and generally facilitate the Musicians On Call experience.

After an interview and training session, new guides accompany experienced guides twice before becoming a "full-fledged" guide. We ask that guides give a time commitment of 24 visits per year. Since the average minimum monthly time requirement is only four hours per month, you can participate in the program, spread the healing power of music, and still have time to listen to XPN!
