There is a concert in Seattle at Benaroya Hall on Saturday, May 17, at 7:00PM.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, this performance will also benefit PONCHO (Patrons of Northwest Civic, Cultural and Charitable Organizations).
