Chamber for a Cause held its annual holiday concert for seniors citizens at The Cliffs at Eagle Rock on December 20, 2014. On this cold Saturday night, our members brought warmth and holiday spirit to the residents at the assisted living home.
The concert opened with co-president Christina Qiu's solo piano piece, "Variations in D Major" by Mozart. Other classical pieces such as Haydn's Quartet Op. 77, No. 1, Haydn's London Trio, and cello duets by Haydn, Telemann, and Gabrielli were interspersed between jazzy arrangements of traditional holiday tunes that the audience gladly sang along to, and a beautiful arrangement of "Over the Rainbow." After the concert, our members had a great time talking individually to each of the audience members, taking pictures, and giving hugs. This is what Chamber for a Cause strives for--not only musical enrichment for our members, but also to bring joy to the lives of others. In our future performances, we hope to do the same and use music to brighten somebody else's day!
