Fundraising for HaitiAt Saturday's free concert at Providence College, CMW raised $769 to support the rebuilding efforts in Jacmel, Haiti. Jesse has a special connection to Jacmel because he spent two weeks teaching and performing in Haiti last summer, including at the Dessaix-Baptiste Music School. Jesse announced from the stage that, even though Jacmel's music school was damaged and some students' homes were leveled, he had just learned that the orchestra met last week to rehearse for the first time since the earthquake. -Heath Marlow, CMW staff |
