Benefit Concert For Children First

DANBURY — The Music Learning Center will present “Our Faculty and Friends…In Concert” at 7:30 pm on Saturday, September 20. The performance will take place at Western Connecticut State University’s Ives Auditorium, 181 White Street. Proceeds from the performance will benefit Danbury Children First, a community organization that seeks to “involve, empower and support parents to improve the lives of children at home, in school and in the community.”

The program will feature over 30 musicians performing a program of classical, jazz and original music. The Music Learning Center instructors – including jazz pianist and music center director Jeff McGill, a resident of Newtown – will also be joined by several musicians with whom they frequently collaborate.

The special event is being presented in celebration of the Music Learning Center’s tenth anniversary. The MLC faculty offer instrumental and vocal instruction to students of all ages, as well as Kindermusik classes and ensemble performing groups.
