Music has always reflected the times we live in. Troubled times produce music of Empathy, Compassion, and as the late civil rights leader John Lewis called it, “Good Trouble.” On Saturday May 10th at 1PM, Piano Spheres presents a special fundraising event featuring pianists Andres Jaramillo, Althea Waites, Thomas Kotcheff, Vicki Ray, Aron Kallay and Mark Robson performing music from Jaramillo’s program “A Journey of Immigrants,” “Troubled Water,” by Margaret Bonds, “Songs of Insurrection” by Frederick Rzewski, and contemporary arrangements of American songs and anthems by Vicki Ray and Mark Robson.
This event will take place at a private home in Pasadena. There will be passed appetizers, desserts and drinks, and a special introduction of Piano Spheres’ next Executive Director, Tom Welsh. 90% of our $30,000 fundraising goal will go toward offsetting the loss of federal funds that are echoing throughout our arts communities. 10% will be donated to Musicares to support artists who lost everything in the devastating fires. Space is extremely limited, so please RSVP Today!
