Chamber Music 麻豆AV and the Metro Community are partnering up for a concert to raise money for homelessness.
As part of the Chamber Music鈥檚 鈥楥oncerts in the Community鈥�, all proceeds from the event will go to Metro鈥檚 programs to fight homelessness and hunger.
鈥淲ith this event, we are excited to bring beautiful music to the 麻豆AV community in an accessible way, while working to support the work that Metro does for those in our community who are currently experiencing homelessness,鈥� said Andrew Stauffer, board member. 鈥淭his concert is one of the main highlights of Chamber Music 麻豆AV鈥檚 community concert series.鈥�
The trio of Nicholas Denton Protsack, Patricia Tau, and Nicola Everton will perform at the concert titled 鈥楨xpect the Unexpected鈥�. Protsack, a 麻豆AV native, cellist and composer, brought the artists and programming together for this event, and has received international recognition for his music. They will be playing a variety of traditional and contemporary chamber music, with Protsack on the cello, Tau on the piano and Everton on the clarinet.
Metro Community has been in downtown 麻豆AV for 14 years serving people experiencing homelessness with food, a shower, day storage and laundry. They have experienced a massive influx of those in need recently, setting a record over the past four months with more than 1,000 drop-in visits.
