Please join us for this Extraordinary Concert

on Valentine's Day to Share the Love

in support of Charles Sherba, Concertmaster of the RI Philharmonic,

beloved teacher and friend to our community.

The famed San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet, in the midst of their world-wide 40th anniversary concert tour, is making a special trip to Providence to play this benefit concert.

Share in this remarkable gift with Chuck's brother John, second violin, and all members of the Kronos Quartet, as well as members of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, Judith Lynn Stillman and Coleman Barks, celebrating music and love and the generosity of our beloved arts community.

Charles has been battling cancer for almost two years, treatments have been exhausting, expensive and financially devastating. Please join us for this special event to support the Sherbas.

Even if you cannot join us, please contribute as generously as you can. One hundred percent of your contribution will go directly to the Sherbas for Chuck's medical expenses.

To donate and make your reservation in advance, send a check payable to:
