The great american songbook is coming to Los Angeles to present a special awareness raiser and fundraiser event! The venue is a special private location in Mt. Washington, in a beautiful intimate listening room, where you will listen to the singers supported by the wonderful trio led by pianist Karen Hammack .

The organization’s Mission is: To preserve our cultural treasure known as the Great American Songbook, by presenting this music to the public at home and abroad as Ambassadors of Song. Its goal is to build an organization to present singers singing this music for the next 100 years and beyond by creating a national institution dedicated to this body of work from a singer's perspective. (This being the zenith of American songwriting). Raising 25 million dollars will allow us to build an educational web site for the composers, lyricists, and their bodies of work to download as educational materials for grade school to the university level. This will generate an annual budget of at least 1 million dollars a year in perpetuity for this purpose.

Held at the famous Village Crean Estate in Newport Beach. The festival's goal is to build self esteem and empower our feminine audiences. But the meaning of the day does not end there. It is vitally important to teach women of all ages that self-worth is not related to how they look. In accord with the nationwide Dove Campaign, the festival encourages women to bring daughters, granddaughters and young friends to this event. The Dove Campaign Aims to Redefine Beauty and reveals in its nationwide ads that "normal" is the new beautiful. Women of all ages are expected to attend from Orange County and surrounding counties. This event brings women together to enjoy a day filled with interesting workshops, speakers, musical entertainment, boutique shopping and delicious food, provided by local vendors. Proceeds from this event will be used for the Discovery School of the Arts and Sciences, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching Universal Ethics to children. And on the workshop page...I'll do more on these later, but please do it with the standard highlighting I usually ask for....thanks!
