St. John School of the Arts Hosts Hurricane Irma Benefit Show Tonight

A School-to School benefit performance for the children of St. John after the devastating Hurricane Irma will be presented Tonight, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2017 at the PROFESSIONAL CHILDREN'S SCHOOL, 132 West 60th Street, New York, NY. The show is at 7:00 pm. There is a Sponsor Reception prior to the performance beginning at 6:00 pm. The award-winning Lyricist-Writer-Theatre Director, Martin Charnin, is the host for the evening. The Ahn Trio will perform as part of a now multi-artist event, plus some other surprises. PCS has graciously made it possible for Professional Children's School, to help another school, St. John School of the Arts. This generosity is to contribute to St. John in its time of need from Hurricane Irma, that has wrecked havoc and devastation is a true "school-to-school rescue".

The children of St. John have been victimized in many serious ways by Hurricane Irma. Many of them have lost their homes, in addition to their schools, which have suffered varying degrees of damage. The children will be without an elementary school education for an, as yet, unspecified period of months. Fortunately, St. John School of the Arts was spared major damage and will immediately act to partially fill this void by providing free classes to over 400 island children.

St. John School of the Arts has been one of the shining lights serving the children of St. John since 1980. The school was scheduled to have a concert, featuring the Ahn Trio, at their school-theatre on Friday, October 27, on St. John. Hurricane Irma made that impossible BUT the concert has been re-imagined and relocated, on the same date, to the Professional Children's School in New York City!

The schools and their alumni passionately believe in the arts and in education. PCS and SJSA have given them the blessing of being able to have an effective outlet for these passions by aiding hundreds and hundreds of children with education and arts education.
