Kretzer Piano of Jupiter presented “Physicians Talent Showcase” as part of its ongoing “Music for the Mind” concert series benefiting music education and children’s charities. This one benefited Adopt a Family of the Palm Beaches and raised close to $40,000 for Project Grow, for children ages 5 to 12 who live in the agency’s housing programs. Project Grow focuses on building social, emotional and educational skills for these formerly homeless children, and instills the self-confidence necessary for a healthy childhood.
Held on the third Tuesday of every month in the Harriet Himmel Theater at CityPlace, the Music for the Mind concerts feature musical groups from Palm Beach County.
Beginning in 2002, Music for the Mind has provided 8,200 young musicians the opportunity to perform while raising over $240,000 to help keep music in locals schools and the community.
