Young Montclair Musicians To Hold Benefit Concert Sunday

A group of Montclair's youngest musicians will take the stage this weekend to fundraise for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. 

School of Rock Montclair will present a fundraising concert at St. John’s Episcopal Church, located at 55 Montclair Ave., on Sunday starting at 6 p.m.  All proceeds will be donated to the official Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund. The minimum donation will be $5 per person.  

Students representing the music school's six spring performance programs will perform four songs from their themed shows.  These shows will be presented in their entirety throughout the month of June at area venues.

“This is the first midterm concert that we’ve ever done,” explained Shamera Sandoski, owner of School of Rock Montclair.  “It will give our students an opportunity to refine and sharpen their on-stage skills in preparation for their big, two-hour concerts in June, and also give the entire School of Rock Montclair community an opportunity to raise funds for a very worthy cause.”
