Join us for a Facebook Live benefit concert at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7 featuring Daniel Bennett with Koko Bermejo! The duo will perform music from their newest album We Are the Orchestra. Described as “a mix of jazz, folk, and minimalism” by the Boston Globe, the Daniel Bennett Group has developed a bold modern jazz sound that has captivated audiences throughout the world. We are excited to host them as they entertain our patrons with their melodic tunes.
The concert is sponsored by New Washington State Bank and the JTPL Foundation. All donations up to $1000 will be matched by New Washington State Bank. An anonymous donor will match any donations up to $250 so some donations will be tripled!
This benefit concert is a part of the larger #LibraryGivingDay initiative. An idea started by the Seattle Public Library Foundation, #LibraryGivingDay is a one-day fundraising event with the goal of encouraging people who depend on and enjoy public libraries to donate to their library system. It is our hope that this amazingly talented band will help to raise awareness and support for our library and the many programs and services we provide to promote lifelong learning and support our local community. 100% of the donations will go towards early literacy and life-long learning initiatives.
You can catch the concert at 7:00 p.m. this Wednesday, April 7 by going to the Library’s Facebook page at https://facebook.com/jefflibrary or by going to the Daniel Bennett Group’s facebook page. If you aren’t able to attend the concert, you can donate to the JTPL Foundation any time through PayPal.
