The Children's Recording Arts Alliance announces the eighth annual charity benefit performance featuring all five of this year's children's album GRAMMY® Award nominees. This year's public concert at Lucky Strike Live in Hollywood, CA, will be held on Saturday, February 11,, 2016 at 11 am.. All ticket sales benefit the Symphonic Jazz Orchestra's music in the schools program.

SiriusXM Kids Place Live hosts Kenny and Mindy will emcee the concert, at 6801 Hollywood Blvd, in the Hollywood & Highland complex. Tickets to the one-hour, all-ages concert ($15 in advance, $20 day of show) are available online now from: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/grammy-childrens-concert-tickets-30973520634. Get news updates on the Facebook event page here.

This year's concert is noteworthy because all five nominated artists are independent musicians:

    All net proceeds from the performance will go to support The Symphonic Jazz Orchestra's "Music in the Schools"residencies, which serve more than 3,400 students each week throughout Los Angeles County. With a unique curriculum for elementary age students, including its flagship "Bach to Bebop" residency, students in Compton, Long Beach, Watts, and the San Fernando Valley learn to become music creators, appreciators and performers.

    The annual benefit concert is produced by a volunteer team: KC Mancebo of Clamorhouse Kids, Regina Kelland of To Market Kids and Beth Blenz-Clucas of Sugar Mountain PR. A children's recording arts industry networking luncheon will follow the concert at a local restaurant. Absolutely Mindy and Kenny Curtis from SiriusXM Satellite Radio's "Kids Place Live" channel will emcee the concert, which will also air on the channel as a special show over GRAMMY weekend.

    While this event celebrates recording arts and this year's nominees for best children's album, it is not an official event of the Recording Academy. The children's album award winner will be announced at the live-streaming 59th annual GRAMMY Awards pre-telecast ceremony in the Microsoft Theater at LA Live on the afternoon of Sunday, February 12th.
