Cedar Lane Orchestral Benefit Concert

The Cedar Lane Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Dr. Henry Sgrecci, performs for AMCAV, an eastern Congolese non-governmental organization that, in partnership with project co-leader Annette Scarpitta of Bethesda, facilitates the first-time education of 150 children of raped women in 3 villages.


Admission is free, but it is hoped that guests will give generously to this small and largely unknown program.


The family-friendly program - with reception to follow - features:

Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals
Barbara Wing and Elizabeth Lane - Pianists
