Blue Hill – In a partnership between Kneisel Hall, Tree of Life Food Pantry, and Music For Food, a Young Artists Concert is scheduled for Saturday, July 22 at 7:30pm.
This benefit concert of chamber music features performers who are part of Kneisel Hall’s summer music festival. The event is free to the public with donations welcomed at the door and online.
“We are delighted to host this event that helps raise awareness and funds in support of Tree of Life,” Meredith Amado, Kneisel Hall Executive Director.
“This annual benefit concert is one of the wonderful offerings from Kneisel Hall that the community has really missed during the COVID shutdowns. The Tree of Life board of directors is so grateful to these talented musicians for offering the event again this year. It’s a wonderful partnership, a lovely evening, and a great opportunity to show support for the work of our local food pantry,” Kate O’Dell, Tree of Life Food Pantry board secretary.
