Music for Food: A Night of Hot Classical and Cool Jazz
Event Description:
On May 30, 2014, at 7:30 PM, a benefit concert featuring local professional musicians and talented youth musicians from the Preparatory School of New England Conservatory will take place in Newburyport at The First Religious Society, with all proceeds going to Pettengill House in Salisbury.
