Empty Cup Concert

Greetings,
The Empty Bowls Project is offering an Empty Cup Concert on Friday, May 2 at the State College Area High School South Auditorium. Doors open at 5:30. Tickets will be sold at the door for $10.00. Proceeds benefit both Meals on Wheels and the Food Bank of the State College area. The Tarnished 6 and Callanish will be the featured bands. The Tarnished 6 plays traditional Jazz and Dixieland ranging from tight, intricate arrangements of the hot jazz bands of the 20's all the way to a loose, easy New Orleans style, as well as tunes from the swinging 30's, and the blues. Callanish shares the music of their heritage from the British Isles: jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes - all the lively dance music of Ireland. The Tarnished 6 will perform at 7 p.m. and Callanish will take the stage at 8 p.m. Each ticket holder is entitled to the choice of one ceramic cup to keep as a reminder of the event. Coffee, tea and milk along with pretzels and fresh baked cookies will be available before the musical performances and during the intermission. Donations for a cup for children under 10 are based on age, $1 for 1 year old, $2 for 2 year old, etc. Students and professional potters have created hundreds of cups to prepare for this concert.
We hope that the Empty Cup Concert and the Empty Bowls Project can increase awareness of hunger issues at national and local levels. In the past eight years, we have contributed over $55,000 to fight hunger. All proceeds remain in the Centre Region and benefit both Meals on Wheels and the Food Bank of the State College area.
