Keys To Giving
Benefit Concert

December 6, 2022



"Keys to Giving" was a benefit concert at Trinity Church of Austin to raise money for Thrift-ish, which is a local charity that gives free clothes to people who need them. We brought together about twenty musicians and put on a giant concert.

I spent a lot of time in November preparing for this event by organizing rehearsals, writing arrangements for people, coordinating the logistics, and in general doing my best to ensure that the concert was as much of a success as it could be.

And I would say that it definitely was a success. Through the night, I'm told that we raised over a thousand dollars for Thrift-ish.

You can watch the video of Keys To Giving above. I also have the arrangements from the concert on this page. Many thanks again to all of the talented local musicians who volunteered their time!
