Congregations find creative ways to organize outreach and relief to victims of Superstorm Sandy
Several generous musicians have signed on to perform for a benefit concert at The Church of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity this Friday.
Artists performing include, as of press time for this column: Lori Goldston, Nick Balaban, Dan Blake, Shelly Hirsch and Margaret Glaspy. Seattle-based cellist Lori Goldston was scheduled to perform a solo show at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity before the October 29 storm. After Hurricane Sandy hit New York City and the region leaving many scars, Goldston decided she wanted to do something to relieve the storm-caused suffering of so many. She determined to transform her small-scale event into a huge benefit to support the hurricane victims and the volunteers assisting them.
Fr. John Denaro, priest-in-charge, is also credited as being instrumental in organizing this event on very short notice.
