Global harmony is our mission. World peace is our vision. Our community's weekly live music celebration reaches musicians and listeners globally on a virtual stage, upholding the classic pattern of an open mic event. At the end of each week, we enjoy a community concert, highlighting a Spotlight Artist. Every contributor can be proud of the fact we are co-creating a more harmonious world by sharing the joys of music.

For Hive Open Mic 316, we will explore the following theme: "I Know What's Coming". Everyone is encouraged to express and connect through this theme. This is a pressure-free invitation to express and connect, encouraging us to explore new territory together as artists. Musicians always have full freedom to bring whatever music feels inspired in the moment.

Acknowledgments

The greatest gift we can give to an artist is our encouragement. For this reason, we humbly ask that everyone offer some friendly words. Let's reward musicians by offering applause as if we're in a pub, a coffee shop, or concert hall. Here, musicians and listeners gain connection across the world, through people of various cultures and languages. This is the harmonizing power of music. Behind the scenes, Hive Open Mic moderators devote extraordinary energy each week to listening, commenting, curating, and creating for this community. The moderation task is a big undertaking, led this week by
