The Middletown High School Music Department is hosting a benefit concert at the Middletown HighPerforming Arts Center to raise much needed funds for continuing music education in their school. This event “Help Keep Music Alive” was developed by Louise Harrison in honor of her late brother George Harrison. The concert features “Liverpool Legends” the number one Beatles tribute show in America. The “Liverpool Legends”, who were handpicked by Louise Harrison, headline their own production five nights a week in Branson, Missouri and have been voted Branson’s Best Show since 2006.
Louise Harrison and the Liverpool Legends were nominated this year for a Grammy in the spoken word category for a CD titled “Fab Fans Memories” which was narrated by Louise Harrison. This is a collection of interviews with Beatles fans across the globe telling personal stories about how the band affected their lives. The Liverpool Legends recorded all the songs for the CD.
Members of the Middletown High School band, wind ensemble, orchestra, jazz ensemble, and choir will be performing live with the “Liverpool Legends” during the concert on some songs.
“This event is both educational and a fun way for the Middletown High School Music Department to raise money for a great cause.” “My brother knew the importance of music education and the arts in our schools and how much it can help a young mind develop,” stated Harrison.
The concert is scheduled for May 5, 2012 at 7:30 P.M. The proceeds will be used to support the Middletown High School Music Department that enrolls students in the marching band, wind ensemble, concert band, orchestra, chorus, and jazz ensemble. The Middletown High School Music Department has over 350 students enrolled in the school music program.
“You never know who will be the next John, Paul, George or Ringo or in fact the next number one hit group,” stated Harrison.
