Carry on the good work
Looking for a way to do good while having a feast for the ears? Go to the Hochstein Performance Center, Sunday, June 25, 4 pm, for a concert honoring master musician and teacher Dennis Monroe, who died earlier this year. (See my post for 19 Feb 06 below.) The program will spotlight musicians from all over – and will include the String Song Mandolin Orchestra, a group that Dennis himself put together not long ago.

Considering the quantity and quality of music you’ll get, the $25 ticket price is a bargain. But there’s some reall added value, too: The proceeds will go to the new Music Through the Ages Fund, housed with the Rochester Area Community Foundation. The fund will continue Dennis’s life work by supporting local musical collaboratives and educational projects. (Go to http://gitfidmando.com/concert.html for more info.)
