Kretzer Piano Music Foundation to Present KRETZER KIDS in Concert at CityPlace

The Kretzer Piano Music Foundation's popular MUSIC FOR THE MIND concert series will return on Tuesday, December 12, with the talented KRETZER KIDS in Concert. The joyous musical event will be held at 7 pm, in the Harriet Himmel Theatre at CityPlace in West Palm Beach.

"The KRETZER KIDS are an extraordinarily talented group of middle and high school students that perform over 50 concerts a year in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and children's hospitals throughout our community," says Kathi Kretzer, founder of the Kretzer Piano Music Foundation (KPMF).

Tickets to attend this MUSIC FOR THE MIND concert are $10 for Adults and $5 for Students, and are available by calling CTS Tickets at 866-449-2489. Profit from this concert will help fund the KRETZER KIDS program.

KPMF is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the gift of music to children and seniors. "We are passionate about music being a part of every child's life and the Foundation provides performance opportunities so young artists can share their talents with others," says founder Kathi Kretzer.

In addition to awarding scholarships for music lessons and donating pianos to disadvantaged children and local children's charities, KPMF's popular programs include:

+ The KRETZER KIDS, gifted young people who perform over 50 concerts every year in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and children's hospitals

+ The Music for the Mind concert series presented the third Tuesday of every month at CityPlace in West Palm Beach. These concerts feature various musical groups from our area.
