Global Z is excited to announce our first annual community-building, educational, music-performance event – Carroll Creek Unplugged! We invite musicians of all ages and talent levels to meet at the Carroll Creek Amphitheater in downtown Frederick, May 25th at 7:00pm to perform 12 popular songs as “one community united in song.” Participation is free, but you must register. Vocalists and acoustic stringed instruments are welcome! Please see our event website for more information and plan on joining in the fun!

Our talented and dedicated Carroll Creek Unplugged committee members met with Jade from the Frederick Downtown Partnership to do a walk-through of the Carroll Creek Amphitheater as part of our event planning process. Less than 2 months before the big community-building music performance event! For project updates and behind-the-scenes info, check this News site regularly.

Our deep appreciation to the Maryland State Arts Council for their continued support by selecting Global Z to receive a 2025 MSAC Creativity General Operating Grant.

We are honored to have been selected to receive a grant from the Bear the Burden Fund, managed and distributed under the care of the Community Foundation of Frederick County.

The Abbey Road Institute featured a post celebrating the successful hybrid collaboration between ARI and The Global Z Recording Project – “The Frederick Circle of Musical Unity.” ARI student producers and audio engineers in London, partnered with student musicians and audio engineers from Frederick, Maryland, to record a commercial-quality song written by two Frederick high school students using cutting edge Internet-based communication, collaboration, and recording technologies.
