San Marco Chamber Music Society JDRF Benefit Results


The San Marco Chamber Music Society held its annual concert of chamber music to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund on September 12th. Along with Eric and Ellen Olson, Tim Tuller and Lindsey Tuller presented a varied concert with works by Szewczyk, Brahms, Krebs, Bridge, Mullikin, and Bach. The entire concert was wonderful, but I have to confess the three songs by Frank Bridge (1833-1879) were my favorite - perhaps because I'd never heard them before.

Contributions from individuals were $1,896.00. A matching gift of $500.00 from Thrivent Financial For Lutherans brought the total amount raised to $2,396.00!

Did you miss SMCMS's first concert of the season? Then you won't want to miss future concerts on 1/16/2011 (Jacksonville Oboists), 2/13/2011 (Strings and Flute), and 4/3/2011 (Make It a Double). All concerts are at 7:00. There is no admission charge, but an offering will be taken.

St. Mark's is proud to host these outstanding concerts!
