Aaron Goldberg Assembles Haitian Musicians For HELP
Haitian-Focused Jazz Concert To Aid HELP – Haiti’s Groundbreaking University Scholarship Program
Pianist Aaron Goldberg Assembles Star Ensemble
Featuring Haitian Musicians Including Cecile McLorin Salvant
Pianist/composer Aaron Goldberg, a longtime friend of HELP and Haiti, has assembled a remarkable ensemble of world-class musicians for a special evening of Haitian-infused song and improvisation to benefit HELP, one of the most successful NGOs operating in Haiti. Described by former President Bill Clinton as one of the programs that can turn Haiti around, HELP transforms the prospects of Haiti’s straight-A students who, in turn, transform the prospects of Haiti.
Proceeds from this benefit concert will go toward Haiti’s groundbreaking university scholarship program, which Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times calls a terrific scholarship program.
