One World Symphony Donates $3,000 To Tsunami Victims

One World Symphony recently performed two concerts in New York to benefit the victims of the tsunami Southeast Asia and Africa. Sixty musicians performed the music by Beethoven, Bach, Rachmaninoff, and Barber and raised nearly $3,000, which was donated to the American Red Cross International Response Fund for Tsunami Victims. The concert at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church (near Lincoln Center) was filled to capacity with standing room only audiences, and the orchestra received five standing-ovation curtain calls. As an encore, One World Symphony played the "Nimrod" from Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations.
