Jenny Lin Foundation 25th Anniversary Concert Tonight in Hayward
Summer Youth Concert 6:30 p.m., on July 27 at Chabot College. Hosted by Cheryl Jennings. Features world premiere of Richard Meyer's piece.
Tonight's free concert concludes the 6-week youth summer program offered free-of-charge by the Jenny Lin Foundation, based in Castro Valley.
Come enjoy the talents of over 300 young musicians across the Bay Area who will perform in Choir (directed by Diana Ryan), Band (directed by Greg Conway), and Orchestra (directed by Cary Nasatir). There is also a world premiere of "From Darkness, Joyful Sounds Are Born", composed by Richard Meyer and dedicated to Jenny at the Foundation's 25th anniversary. You will hear a solo on the viola, the instrument that Jenny loved to play.
A young, talented musician and a straight-A student, Jenny was murdered in her own home 25 years ago at the age of 14. This brutal death devastated her family and shocked the community. Jenny’s parents vowed to continue working with the police until the case is solved. A $100,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of Jenny’s murderer is still available. Anyone with information please call the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department at (510) 667-7721 or the toll-free hotline at (855) 4-JENNY-LIN.
