Kretzer Music Fndn's MUSIC FOR THE MIND Series To Present The Irwin Solomon Jazz Trio In CityPlace
The Kretzer Music Foundation today invited fans to the next concert in its popular MUSIC FOR THE MIND series which is presented in the Harriet Himmel Theatre at CityPlace in West Palm Beach.
November 20 at 7 pm (Tuesday)
Irwin Solomon Trio
This crowd-pleasing group consists of pianist Irwin Solomon, Dave Tomasello on bass, and drummer Mike Dorfman. The Irwin Solomon Jazz Trio will captivate the audience with a unique presentation of jazz classics from the Great American Songbook. Plus, a special surprise performance by a multi-talented Kretzer Kid.
"This trio is known as one of South Florida's best, so it is advisable to get tickets early," recommends Kathi Kretzer, founder of the Kretzer Music Foundation.
Tickets to attend are $15 for Adults and $5 for Students, and are available by calling CTS Tickets at 866-449-2489. Profit from this concert will enable the Kretzer Music Foundation (KMF) to expand its music education programs for children in need.
Formerly known as the Kretzer Piano Music Foundation, KMF is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the gift of music to children and seniors. "We are passionate about music being a part of every child's life and the Foundation provides performance opportunities so young artists can share their talents with others," says Kathi Kretzer.
In addition to awarding scholarships for music lessons and donating pianos to disadvantaged children and local children's charities, KMF's popular programs include:
+ The KRETZER KIDS, gifted young people who have performed over 60 concerts annually for 16 years in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, community events and at children's hospitals.
+ The Music for the Mind concert series presented the third Tuesday of every month at CityPlace in West Palm Beach. These concerts feature various musical groups from our area. Beginning in 2002, Music for the Mind has provided more than 12,000 young musicians the opportunity to perform while raising over $650,000 to help promote music in our schools and community.
+ The Keyboards for Kids group piano classes were given to underprivileged children at Adopt-a-Family, the Boys and Girls Club and the Center for Creative Education.
+ The headline-grabbing Keys to the Cities campaign placed 18 whimsically painted pianos in public spots from Jupiter to Delray Beach (and winner of the 2014 Bernays Award for Best Special Event from the Gold Coast PR Council). Afterwards, the pianos were donated to worthy local nonprofit organizations, including Adopt-a-Family, Quantum House, Children's Hospital at St. Mary's, Grandma's Place, Lighthouse for the Blind, Opportunity, Inc., Palms West Pediatric Oncology, Salvation Army and the YWCA, where they continue to brighten lives.
+ The PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE concerts held for five years featured a group of talented medical doctors and raised funds for local children's charities and music education.
