Voice professor and concert coor dinator Steven Spears explained that, in planning the benefit concert at the begin ning of this year, there were simply too many natural disasters to choose just one. “Instead of focusing on one tragedy or charity,” said Spears, “we decided that it would be best to simply remind people through a memorial concert that these events have happened and help is still needed in so many ways." Instead of collecting donations at the door, audi ence members were encouraged to send a donation to the charity of their choice. “Perhaps this will encourage someone to donate their time to their church goodwill drive or homeless shelter or be iuspired to give in some unique way that only they can," Spears said. The music and readings of the con cert reflected a variety of deeply felt reac tions to tragedy. Some pieces were dearly commemorative of specific events. Jazz instnietor Ife Tomboulian, whose piano sextet “Set for New Orleans" premiered in this concert, was inspired to write the piece alter Hurricane Katrina devas tated New Orleans. “The first movement has a post-Katrina feeling," he explains. “It’s a twisted version of the song ‘Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans.’" Other sdcctions, matching the plea for help that characterized the essence of the concert, turned spiritual, asking (kid for the help that we humans can't seem to provide.
