HARTFORD CONCERTS FOR CHARITIES
(HCC):
. This is
a new, unique concert series designed to bring together
musicians from school, university and professional performance
organizations, corporate and individual sponsors and the
Cathedral of St. Joseph in a unique partnership: to provide the
greater Hartford Community with classical music performances
dedicated to raising money for charities in the city of
Hartford. HCC pledges to donate All proceeds at EVERY concert
to a designated local charity. The concept is a simple one--all
musical and publicity costs of the concerts will be donated by
corporate and individual sponsors, so when a concertgoer makes a
donation at the door, they will know that they are directly
benefiting those in need.
