About HCM's History
Hi there! Alex & Sol here. On Tuesday, March 3, 2015, we met and started the journey of what community meant to us and how we defined it.
It's our hope to inspire the same in you. So with that said, let's dive right in!
How it all began
Alex and Sol met to discuss collaboration on some business at the Fair Lakes VA Silver Diner.
Topics of the philosophy of music and life, spirituality, origins and patterns of rhythms in Latin America and some parts of the US arose.
The conversation was centered around finding the convergence between serving the community, serving their families, serving their souls and making money to enable more options and freedoms for themselves and others. Out of this came the initial ideas for the House Concert Movement.
House Concerts – Alex described this as a concept which started in Austin TX where artist used people’s homes as venues for playing music and accepting contributions from attendees. This concept spread across Austin as a cool way to hear music in an intimate setting where the artist were not cheated etc.
Alex used this idea in Florida and is suggested doing this idea in DC metro, starting at Sol’s house as a way to get to know each other, minister to attendees to start a movement which can change the world through music and empowerment.
Sol talked about his recognition of the transiency of relationships these days and not knowing neighbors etc. They agreed that music is the great equalizer and decided to embark on an experimental journey of using music to build business connection as well as personal connections to do good and see what evolved.
Little by little they started to see how fast everything was growing, the connections that were happening not just amongst themselves but with the attendees. They had achieved what they first discussed at the diner and they haven’t looked back since, only to the future.
