Chamber Music 麻豆精选 and the Metro Community are partnering up for a concert to raise money for homelessness.
As part of the Chamber Music鈥檚 鈥楥oncerts in the Community鈥�, all proceeds from the event will go to Metro鈥檚 programs to fight homelessness and hunger.
鈥淲ith this event, we are excited to bring beautiful music to the 麻豆精选 community in an accessible way, while working to support the work that Metro does for those in our community who are currently experiencing homelessness,鈥� said Andrew Stauffer, board member. 鈥淭his concert is one of the main highlights of Chamber Music 麻豆精选鈥檚 community concert series.鈥�
The trio of Nicholas Denton Protsack, Patricia Tau, and Nicola Everton will perform at the concert titled 鈥楨xpect the Unexpected鈥�.

They will be playing a variety of traditional and contemporary chamber music, with Protsack on the cello, Tau on the piano and Everton on the clarinet.
