Palisades Symphony will present a Fire Recovery Benefit Concert on Sunday, February 16, at 7:30 p.m. at Westwood United Methodist Church, located at 10497 Wilshire Boulevard.
“Join us for a heartfelt evening as we stand with our neighbors recovering from the devastating fires,” read a statement from Palisades Symphony. “Some Palisades Symphony members lost their homes, making this free Fire Recovery Benefit Concert all the more meaningful. Alexander Wasserman has donated his performance for this cause and will be playing on a grand piano generously provided by Kawai. Donations will help musicians, singers and organizations affected by the fire as we aim to bring hope and healing through music. We invite you to come to this special benefit concert at this challenging time to support the victims of the fire.”
The program is set to include Mykola Lysenko’s “Overture to Taras Bulba,” Edvard Grieg’s “Piano Concerto in A Minor,” Wasserman (soloist) and César Franck’s “Symphony in D minor.”
“Our main concert venue, Palisades Lutheran Church, miraculously survived the fire that surrounded it,” read a statement. “It is being used for relief efforts and may need some repair, so we anticipate performing in alternative venues for some time.”
