CORTLANDT MANOR, N.Y. A benefit concert performed by three internationally recognized classical musicians raised nearly $3,000 to benefit the Cheryl R. Lundenbaum Cancer Center at Hudson Valley Hospital Center. The concert, on Jan. 29, was hosted by Valley Musica, a Putnam-based charity that brings in-demand classical artists from New York City into the Hudson Valley.
I, as well as so many others in the area, have been touched by cancer said Audrey Axin, Founder and Director of Valley Musica. It was a great experience for us to share our musical talents, knowing the funds raised were for an exceptional cause. We are exciting to see even more changes ahead.
The program featured works by Haydn, Brahms and Dvorák. Artists included violinist, Jesse Mills, pianist, Rieko Aizawa, and cellist Bonnie Hampton.
The support of local organizations, such as Valley Musica, is inspiring, said Edward MacDonald, chairman of the board of directors at HVHC. With events like these, it is a great opportunity for everyone to work together and build awareness of health care services offered in our community.
The recently opened Cancer Center houses the Ashikari Breast Center. The hope of hospital officials it to cut patients treatment commute by offering a variety of services in a local hospital.
