Ten Grands
Saturday, May 17, 7 PM
Benaroya Hall
$36-$120
The Ten Grands program features ten grand pianos and ten concert pianists playing a variety of classical and modern pieces both simultaneously and individually. Traditionally presented just once a year at Portland's Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, three shows are planned for the 2008 concert season. Portland will present two shows and the third show will be presented at Seattle's Benaroya Hall.
Concert proceeds benefit The Snowman Foundation, which in turn benefits youth service groups, helps generate scholarships and music lessons for disadvantaged youth in Oregon and Southwest Washington and helps purchase pianos for schools and organizations in need. In addition to raising funds for The Snowman Foundation, the Seattle performance will also benefit PONCHO (Patrons of Northwest Civic, Cultural and Charitable Organizations). The organization strives to create a diverse and expansive community which celebrates and supports the vitality and variety of the arts.
