Jazz Ensemble Hosts Benefit Concert for Dell Children’s Medical Center

The Austin Community College Jazz Ensemble is teaming with Grammy-winning guitarist Redd Volkaert and vocalist Dayne Otto for a concert to benefit a surgical mission team from Dell Children’s Medical Center. The show is set for Thursday, March 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Patsy’s Café (5001 E. Ben White Blvd.).

“We are always happy to assist Dell Children’s whenever we can,” says Dr. Tom Husak, Jazz Ensemble director. “This will be a great show for an equally great cause.”

The event is free and open to the public. The funds are raised through a chapter of Dell Children’s Circle of Friends – grassroots, volunteer-led, community-based chapters that raise funds and awareness for Children’s Medical Center Foundation of Central Texas to benefit Dell Children’s. This chapter has chosen to focus attention on international mission work by members of the Dell Children’s staff.

The ACC Jazz Ensemble has a decades-long commitment to playing benefit shows for charities and community organizations, and the group is recognized for its ability to combine musical tradition and innovation. In January, the ACC Jazz Ensemble played at the presidential inauguration gala; they also performed at an inauguration event in 2009.
