Let It Ring
​Veteran's Day Concert

November 11, 2020

5:00 PM

Get ready to turn up your speakers and raise the flag this Veterans Day in support of Veterans Music and Arts Therapy at the Let It Ring – Veterans Day Concert — LIVESTREAMED.

​The FREE concert works to bring together a number of Veterans and musicians to present both live and pre-recorded performances ranging from soaring piano solos to foot tapping acoustic folk music. All donations from the concert go directly to support and grow music and arts therapy programs for local Veterans.

Why?

The Let It Ring – Veterans Day Concert is presented in partnership with Paczka Digital, an Arizona-based video production company dedicated to producing memorable and impact driven video content to help amplify the voices and stories that matter. The concert is inspired by a collaborative documentary produced by Paczka Digital entitled Let It Ring. The film tackles the profound and powerful impact that music therapy can have on veterans struggling with PTSD. This intimate film brings together the personal stories of veterans and organizations that are working hand-in-hand to bring the gift of music to those who need it most. In association with the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance, this project was a collaboration between a number of organizations across the country including Warrior Songs, Guitars for Vets, Flutes for Vets and many more who helped bring this story to light.

In lieu of a ticket price, we are asking for donations to support veterans art and music therapy. You can make a direct donation to the three non-profits involved by making a contribution at the link below.
