Enriching Lives through Music (ELM), a full scholarship orchestral music program for children from San Rafael’s Canal neighborhood, will be hosting a benefit concert featuring Symphonia Caritas, a professional Bay Area orchestra with Ecuadorian cello soloist, Francisco Villa.

The evening will feature Symphonia Caritas performing classical music from old and new worlds, including Tchaikovsky’s beloved Variations on a Rococo Theme.  Also as a special treat, ELM’s students will open the program with a short selection for string ensemble!

VIP ticket-holders are also invited to a pre-concert reception at the Seager/Gray Gallery next door at 108 Throckmorton Avenue which will include wine, cheese, and live music by ELM faculty.

Enriching Lives through Music (ELM)’s mission is to provide inspiration and opportunity for youth through access to musical excellence. 100% of proceeds will go to ELM, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  A limited number of sponsorships will also be sold as part of this benefit which include priority reserved seating and name recognition in program materials.
