Music Feeds…and Yes, We Fed!

Timed with the release of The Soloist starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey about the Julliard cellist-turned schizophrenic homeless man Nathaniel Ayers Jr., Symphony of the Southwest participated along with the American League of Orchestras and hundreds of orchestras across the country to feed the hungry.

Last month at our March 21 concert at the Mesa Arts Center,  Symphony of the Southwest patrons turned out to not only hear wonderfully-played live classical show-stoppers, but armed with food donations to benefit the United Food Bank based in Mesa.

We’re very pleased to announce that our symphony supporters supplied United Food Bank with 558 pounds of food. That’s 436 people who will be served a meal thanks to your generosity.

Thank you from all of us at Symphony of the Southwest for caring about our local community. Those special patrons who donated and turned in vouchers at our concert will be hearing from us again soon in the next few weeks.
