Moved by recent reports that poverty and hunger have risen in the current recession, a group of New England Conservatory artist faculty, students, and alumni, headed by grammy-award winning violist Kim Kashkashian, have united to present a chamber music series to benefit local food pantries. Admission to all concerts is a donation of non-perishable food items or a check to Music for Food, on behalf of a local pantry. Music has the power to call forth the best in us, inspiring awareness and action when artists and audiences work together to transform the ineffable into tangible and needed food resources. Music for Food is a musician-led initiative for local hunger relief. Our concerts raise resources and awareness in the fight against hunger, empowering all musicians who wish to use their artistry to further social justice.
