In the wake of the catastrophic 7.0 M earthquake that has devastated Haiti, the Skidmore Community has endeavored to raise money for the island nation's hundreds of thousands of injured, starving and homeless people.
As part of this monumental effort, a plethora of Skidmore musicians are set to perform at a "Harmony for Haiti" concert in Ladd Concert Hall, the newly opened Zankel Music Center on Thursday, Feb. 11, from 8-10 p.m. Performers will include a capella groups The Accents, The Bandersnatchers, Drastic Measures, Dynamics and Soneteers as well as student-faculty bands that wowed audiences at "Beatlemore Skidmania" last semester, including the Rust Brothers.
Admission will be $5 for Skidmore Students and $10 for community members. Proceeds will go to Save the Children and Partners in Health.
Additional donations will also be welcomed. To participate in the conversation about the upcoming "Harmony for Haiti" concert or confirm your attendance, check out the Facebook group SkidCare Haiti.
