Valentine’s 2008 welcomes the most exciting annual event in Tucson, An Evening of Love Songs. This event benefits school-age children in our community by exposing them to musical performances right in their local schools.   Hosted by Elliot Glicksman and David “Fitz” Fitzsimmons with musical director Jeff Haskell, this event presents some of Tucson’s most visible community leaders and great musical talents in an evening of music and fun.

An Evening of Love Songs will include the UA Jazz Ensemble featuring special performances by attorney Burt Kinerk and his son John, some gentle tones by the voice of Surgeon Hillel Baldwin, Former UA Coach Jim Rosborough with developers Lex Sears and Mike Kasser, fun performances from the UA Pep Band, the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus, and the stunning vocal skills of Donald Pitt and Gary Kippur with his daughter Andrea as well as many others.  Taking place at 6:30pm in Crowder Hall at the UA School of Music, An Evening of Love Songs is the one of the fun annual events produced by the Glassman Foundation for the purpose of providing unique and exciting opportunities for children and youth in Tucson.   The reception for all concert guests will be from 6:00pm to 7:30pm in the lobby. Don’t forget to consider purchasing VIP tickets that include the after-show cast-dinner at Pastiche!!

Proceeds from An Evening of Love Songs will be used in part to fund the “Glassman Foundation Music in the Schools Concert Series” which sends musical groups from the UA School of Music into middle schools throughout Tucson.  Since its inception this event has funded concerts for more than 30,000 local middle school children in Southern Arizona.
