The Music Academy of the West's Board of Directors, administration, faculty, and alumni are heartbroken about the devastation in the area, lives lost, and neighbors injured. The Academy offers a space and music for people to come together for comfort amidst the neighborhood that was heavily impacted by the Thomas Fire, and the winter storm and mudslides.

The 75-minute concert program will bring a bright moment to everyone dealing with difficult circumstances.

Additional artists include:
Nico Abondolo, double bass
Richie Hawley, clarinet
Natasha Kislenko, piano
Julie Landsman, horn
Paul Merkelo, trumpet
