Piano Benefit Concert Raises over $4K for Children’s Charities
Galileo Music—a digital piano manufacturer and distributor—and “Whisperings:Solo Piano Radio” teamed up for a charity concert performance on September 1st, 2007 at the Mashpee Center for the Performing Arts in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The concert event featured four artists from the “Whisperings” radio program. Whisperings is the largest independent internet broadcast and attracts over a million listeners each month. Galileo Music donated a Galileo Maestro digital grand piano to help raise money for the charity event.
The four artists that performed were: Whisperings founder David Nevue; Galileo Music founder Gary Girouard; Internationally acclaimed pianist Silvard Kool; and Boston-area pianist Patrick Gorman.
Over 400 people attended the piano concert and enjoyed solo piano performances and storytelling. During intermission, a brief video was shown featuring the charities that benefited from the event. There was a “Grand Finale” eight-hand improvisation that led festively into the piano raffle drawing at the conclusion of the evening. The charities that received donations were: The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp (Ashford, CT); Team Bryce Fund (Wakefield, MA); and the Southport Scholarship Fund (Mashpee, MA).
