More info about the event:

In light of the devastation in Haiti following the recent magnitude 7.0 earthquake, several students felt compelled to act in order to help Haiti. More specifically, we felt that it was just not enough to donate individually. We wanted to effectively raise money for the relief effort on a larger scale and as a community in order to have a bigger, more immediate impact. After careful brainstorming, we realized that the best way for us to raise money was to appeal to the interests of our peers, while also highlighting their talents. So we decided upon hosting a Haiti Relief Benefit Showcase where the whole community could gather to support the relief efforts while also enjoying performances from local students and alumni.

We are participating in “Symphonic Relief for Haiti”: A Global Concert to Benefit Partners in Health, where we have joined musicians around the world to join in a global effort to heal the Community in Haiti through musical performances. We hope to aid in this global effort by helping to reach a $250,000 goal for relief in Haiti. The Longwood Symphony Orchestra and New England Conservatory will be closing out the last day of events on January 31, 2010 with a final concert at 12:30 PM.
