Fundraiser Concert in Los Altos Hills, California, October 2nd 2011

Dear friends,

Wouldn't you love the chance to see, hear, and mingle with our "local neighborhood star" and former CSMA pupil, Grammy-nominee jazz phenomenon Taylor Eigsti, "up close and personal" in a private house concert ? Taylor is being featured in a special Listen for Life (www.listenforlife.org) benefit event that is generously being hosted at a gorgeous private estate on SUNDAY October 2nd at 4pm (wine reception commences at 3pm and all are welcome).

Other performers for this special house concert will include: 

• the Emmy-award winner and National Music Champion of Vietnam, Vanessa Van Anh Vo; 
• award-winning Hawaiian music star Patrick Landeza; 
• opera prodigy Ricky Garcia, and 
• internationally renowned concert pianist Donna Stoering. 

Taylor Eigsti will be the featured performer with a half-hour set all to himself, because he doesn't get out from NY all that often and the chances to hear him in this intimate of a setting are very rare indeed. 

Suggested donation is a minimum $75 per person as this event is a fundraiser for Listen for Life's projects and programs which have thus far impacted the lives of 9 million people in 55 countries. 

Listen for Life is a global family of music listeners, teachers, performers and producers, working together to change the world through music. Our global headquarters are here in the Bay Area and we welcome all music listeners to join our family! 

For more information on Listen for Life, or to reserve a place for October 2nd, please phone 510 540 8136 or email events@listenforlife.org
