Project Chamber Music: Willamette Valley is hosting a virtual benefit concert Saturday to support its programs in local schools.
Founded in 2016, the organization brings local chamber musicians into middle and high school orchestra classes to perform, rehearse with students and answer questions about life as professional musicians.
Typically, Project Chamber Music musicians perform an annual concert at the Elsinore Theatre with local students and donate the proceeds to school orchestra programs. This year’s benefit is online instead.
The program includes two string quartets followed by a Zoom reception with the artists. It will be held at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 24. Tickets are free to Salem-Keizer students and available by a donation of any amount to the general public. For more information or ticket, visit the Project Chamber Music website.
