This special event marks a shared commitment to empowering local communities through music, mentorship, and innovation.As one of Philadelphia's most respected youth development organizations, The NOMO Foundation (New Options More Opportunities) has partnered with World Cafe Live to produce an evening that blends live music, civic engagement, and forward thinking entertainment technology. The event will feature performances by gold-certified recording artist 2Rare and rising stars Mizz & Young Sturdy, three of the city's most compelling and influential musical voices.

The August 22nd event is expected to attract 500 to 650 in-person guests, primarily Philadelphia youth, families, and community leaders. In a pioneering move, the concert will also be broadcast live on WorldCafeLive.tv and streamed in real time into the metaverse via Sansar. This dual-platform hybrid model allows music fans throughout the region and beyond to engage with the event in both traditional and immersive formats, positioning World Cafe Live at the forefront of live music innovation.
Chad Fain, VP of Programming & Development at World Cafe Live, stated, "This partnership is an example of what happens when music meets purpose. We're honored to align with NOMO Foundation and Go Crazy Production and proud to use our stage to uplift the voices and talent that are shaping Philadelphia's future."
"I strongly feel the partnership with NOMO Foundation will be magical as we spotlight these incredible artists into the Metaverse on the World Cafe Live stage," said Veniece Newton, Chief Partnership Officer at World Cafe Live.
