Sarasota Music Fest Giving Hunger the Blues

The Sarasota Music Festival is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that provides full tuition scholarships to its participants.

Intro

The Sarasota Music Festival (SMF), one of the nation’s premier summer classical music festivals, is teaming up with All Faiths Food Bank this year to help “give hunger the blues.” From now until June 9, donations of non-perishable food items or cash made to All Faiths Food Bank in support of the Sarasota Music Festival will be matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor, up to $10,000.

What is the Sarasota Music Fest?

The Sarasota Music Fest is a yearly event that occurs in Sarasota, Florida. The Music Fest focuses on giving hunger the blues through live music performances and food donations. The Fest works with local restaurants to provide meals for those in need, as well as to offer discounted meals for Music Fest attendees. The event also provides live music entertainment with a focus on blues performers. In addition to the live music, the Fest also offers workshops and activities for attendees of all ages.

What is the connection between the Sarasota Music Fest and hunger?

The Sarasota Music Festival is proud to be partnering with All Faiths Food Bank for the second year in a row to help fight hunger in our community. For every ticket sold to the festival, $1 will be donated to All Faiths Food Bank.

The Sarasota Music Festival is a two-week event that features over 100 classical concerts and master classes by world-renowned artists. This year’s festival will take place from April 8-22.
