LCMS FACULTY PLAYS TO RAISE MONEY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AT ANNUAL CONCERT

LANGLEY, BC – Langley Community Music School’s annual faculty benefit concert takes place Sunday, November 17 at 3:00 p.m. Proceeds from the concert will go towards the LCMS scholarship and bursary program.

“We are very fortunate to have so many performing artists on faculty that are willing to generously donate their performances to benefit the students,” says Susan Magnusson, LCMS’ principal. “The theme this year is Amici e Ricordi – Friends and Memories, and it’s extra special as it honours two recently retired faculty members Caroline Janos and Carolyn Twiest.”

The afternoon promises to be an eclectic mix of performances and performers, ranging from classical to jazz. Performers will include cellists Ian Hampton and Joel Stobbe violinist Yuri Zaidenberg, pianists Jean Brown and Bernard Duerksen and many more. “Many of these faculty performers have been featured in Concerts Café Classico and Rose Gellert Hall series performances,” adds Magnusson.

Tickets are available at the Langley Community Music School box office at 604.534.2848 for $20 adults, and $10 students. A family pass is also available for $60 (two parents and their children). The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 Street, Langley.
