Pittsburgh Symphony Concert on June 21, 2007 Benefited IVC

The fourth annual Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Community Partners Concert took place on Thursday, June 21, 2007 at Heinz Hall. The Fifth Dimension, famous for hits such as "Aquarius (Let the Sun Shine)" and "Up, Up, and Away," headlined the show. The opening set of the concert featured classical solos by young virtuosos who have won the prestigious Sphinx Competition. Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman and Super Bowl XL Champion Max Starks chaired the event.

Conceived as a mutually beneficial collaboration with 50 area nonprofit agencies, including IVC, the PSO Community Partners Concert is an innovative approach to ticket sales and fundraising. The PSO donates orchestra services and secures corporate sponsors to underwrite production costs. Patrons earmark their ticket purchase to benefit the participating nonprofit they choose, and 100% of the ticket price goes to the organization they designate. IVC raised more than $800 through this fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who supported the concert by donating tickets or attending!
