The 17th Annual Starlight Serenade Benefit Concert will showcase another outstanding line up of incredible award winning musicians and entertainers. The event takes place on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 8:00pm at the Harmony Gold Theater, in the Heart of Hollywood, sponsored by U.S. Bank, Payne Pest Management, Gerald Greene, ABCOFLASH and The Federal Bar.
The event will benefit the North Hollywood based Hands4Hope LA free after school and single parent programs. The Annual Starlight Serenade Benefit Concert is a musical extravaganza that strikes a chord in the community to encourage participation and contribution. This fundraising concert gathers music lovers, professional musicians, and celebrities together to celebrate and support the academic, athletic, artistic, and social enrichment programs provided by Hands4Hope LA for at-risk youth. This year’s event will be a star-studded affair hosted by Pat Prescott of KTWV 94.7 The Wave and will feature Sinbad, Paul Jackson, Jr., Jessy J, Dr. Bobby Rodriguez and Paige Bryan! Our musical director for this event is the First Lady of Smooth Jazz, Gail Jhonson.
Gail Jhonson commented:
“Seventeen years ago, me and the CEO Lydia Floyd, created Hands4Hope after we met in church and we both recognized we’re both professional women and wanted to do something for the community. Lydia had a passion for kids and I, for music. So we created Hands4Hope.”
“Music is healing. Music is a way to focus. Music is a way to get inward and calm yourself down. The children benefit so much from participating in these programs.”
The event is open to the general public. Available admission tickets include: VIP $75 and general admission $50. VIP tickets will include access to a pre-concert delicious VIP Reception hosted by The Federal Bar, with Pat Prescott and various artists from the evening’s line-up.
Harmony Gold Theater is located: 7655 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA. 90046.
