Free Maestro the Lion Children's Concert To Benefit Tsunami Relief

A Free Maestro the Lion Children's Concert to benefit Japanese tsunami relief will be held on Sunday, March 27, 2011. The concert is especially appropriate for grade school age children and their families, and will be from 3:00 to 4:30 pm in the Auditorium at Lower Merion High School, 315 E. Montgomery Avenue, Ardmore PA. The program features music from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, and begins with excerpts from a book, written and illustrated by LMHS graduates, that tells the story of the music. During intermission, high school musicians will offer hands-on instrument demos to any interested audience members. The program also features a very special guest soloist, Cynwyd Elementary School 5th grader Isabella Egawa, performing the first movement of the Bruch Violin Concerto. Donations to aid Japanese tsunami relief will be accepted at the door. (A donation of $10 is suggested -- all donations are tax deductible.) For more information, please call 610-645-1977.
