Looking for a way to help Haiti?
The Aeolian Hall is bringing together some great talents for a great cause tonight at 7 p.m.
Featuring local musicians Clark Bryan, Marion Miller, Julia MacGregor, Steve Clarke, The Alfredo Caxaj Latin Ensemble, Catherine McInnes, Jennifer Thorpe, Mosaic and others - the evening aims to raise $10,000 for Haiti relief.
The event is "pay-what-you-can" with the proceeds going to the Red Cross. There will also be CD sales, raffles and a silent auction - all proceeds also going to relief efforts.
The important thing out of this event, and other events like it, is that people are aware that continuous aid is needed for this region - not just when the camera lense is focused on it, said Clark Bryan, executive director of Aeolian Hall and one of the evening's performers.
"It's an amazing thing and it's easier to see because it's in the media. But one thing that will sustain is...how do we get people to understand the necessity to give when it isn't in the media at all," he said. "We want to keep one foot planted firmly in the social activist soil."
"It's going to be a very powerful evening and I'm looking forward to it."
