We are so excited to kick off our 2024-25 season for Music For Food with our first concert, "All in the Family" on Sunday, October 6 at 4pm at Grace Lutheran Church. This is the first of 4 programs this year, and we hope you'll come out to enjoy some good music and help us fight hunger in our community. "All in the Family" features the prodigious talents of siblings Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn. We'll share string quartets by each of them, and hear one of Fanny's 6 pieces to be published during her lifetime, the lovely song, "Italien." With a natural inclination toward beautiful melodies, the Mendelssohns have crafted heartwarming, uplifting music that showcases lyricism, virtuosity, and interwoven beauty. Our accomplished cast of performers include Kristina Nilsson, Caroline Holden, Melissa Brewer, Zlatina Staykova, Carla Connors, Tim Hoekman, Corinne Stillwell, Megumi Terry, Miriam Tellechea, and Mitchell George. Music For Food Tallahassee is an all-volunteer, musician-led initiative to fight hunger in our community, and we're part of a national organization with 22 chapters across the country. Our concert is free, but we'll be collecting non-perishable food and monetary donations; 100% of the funds raised will benefit the FSU Food for Thought Pantry. Donations may be made by cash, check payable to the FSU Foundation, or online at https://dsst.fsu.edu/foodpantry Suggested donation is $20/adult, $5/student, and non-perishable food donations are welcomed. We sincerely hope you'll join us to enjoy an afternoon of music to nourish our souls and help us collect food to nourish our community. Please spread the word, and we'll look forward to seeing you there!
