"Singing For The Planet" Concert Report

by WarrenS

Last Saturday, June 12, we held a concert in Boston.

"Singing For The Planet" featured the Latin Jazz of Mili Bermejo, Warren Senders (that's WarrenS to you!) performing Hindustani music, and the great Jazz singer Dominique Eade — almost three hours of singing!  And the best part of it was that we raised a little over eight hundred dollars for www.350.org.

This was the second of what I hope will be many such concerts.  Last year I put on a huge show as part of the International Day of Climate Awareness on October 24.  "Playing For The Planet" had six different acts and went on for almost four hours.

Everybody agreed that while it was fun, they thought it went on a little too long.  Furthermore, the logistics of arranging six different performing groups was just too daunting.  Three?  Three I could handle.  So I made some calls to some friends in the singing world...
