Concert For Community Benefits Sandy Springs Education Force

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Sandy Springs Music will host its popular Concert For Community as a way to give back to an organization that works to ensure local public school children have everything they need to become productive adults.

The concert benefiting Sandy Springs Education Force will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, May 7 at 5 Seasons Brewing Company, which is in The Prado Sandy Springs shopping center at 5600 Roswell Road.

It will feature teachers and staff from Sandy Springs Music, who will perform an array of pop/rock classics and hits, including selections from the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Katie Perry, Lady Gaga and other acts.

The event kicks off with performances from the Ridgeview Middle School band, orchestra and chorus, followed by Sandy Springs Music students and the teacher concert starting around 4:15 p.m. Tickets for the program are $10 in advance or $20 at the door. Children 17 and under will be admitted for free. Children can enjoy face painting and create a take-away craft during the performances.

Sandy Springs Music owner David Szikman said all proceeds from Sunday's concert will go towards a local, deserving charity. Sandy Springs Education Force appeared on Szikman's radar when a friend suggested he reach out Irene Schweiger, that organization's executive director. SSEF designs and implements free supplemental programs to engage and support public school students in Sandy Springs to excel academically, finish high school and continue to a vocation or to college.

“SSEF is a great organization that deserves recognition and attention," Szikman added. "I believe in what they do and wanted to help them increase their reach and impact.”
