An upcoming rock concert in Del Ray later this month will help raise funding for scholarships and other assistance to help young students attend a local music school.
The Rock Del Ray concert on Sunday, July 28, will benefit the nonprofit Friends of ROAM, which provides need-based scholarships to Rock of Ages Music, a music school at 114 E. Del Ray Avenue.
According to the Friends of ROAM website:
Since 2011, Rock of Ages Music (ROAM) has provide music education to hundreds of area students. The program’s professional private instruction, “rock school” ensembles, and summer camp programs enrich the lives of the students, create new music fans and build a community of artistic support. These and other benefits are highly valued by ROAM students, their families, and the larger community. Due to program costs, however, these benefits are largely unavailable to community members who cannot afford the price of instruments and tuition necessary to participate in private music education programs. The Friends of ROAM seeks to provide the means necessary for young musicians in need to obtain the music instruction otherwise not available to them.
The Rock Del Ray concert, from 5:30-10 p.m. at No. 9 Lounge, 2000 Mount Vernon Avenue, will feature a mix of current and former Rock of Ages Music students. The concert’s $15 admission will help pay for students to attend the school.
