Special Thanks and OC Performance by Thornton School of Music Student
Posted by: | CommentsMessage: An invitation to members of South Orange County Alumni, whose scholarship support has been invaluable to me.
Please come see what your support has nurtured at a May 14 performance at 8 p.m. in Laguna Beach’s Neighborhood Congregational Church, 285 St. Ann’s Drive. I’ll be performing with 10 other Thornton School of Music musicians, playing original compositions and arrangements. I’ve entitled the concert Green Blues: A Night of Modern Jazz, but it could also be called Tunes for Tuition, too. It’s a benefit to help me defray tuition costs for my final semester, studying music in Brazil.
I hope to see some of the Trojan family in the audience.
