Claremont, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2014 -- As Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda swept through the Philippines in November, it quickly became known as the deadliest typhoon to hit Southeast Asia. Now, faculty and students in the Scripps College Music Department have rallied to organize “Remember, Rebuild, and Sustain: ‘Walang Iwanan,’” a benefit event on Feb. 2 to raise support for ongoing relief efforts.

The benefit includes a workshop and a variety of musical programs from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. All of these events are free and open to the public. At 12:30 p.m., Annie Cuevas, director of tourism of the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles and Tony Olaes, chairman of Gawad Kalinga USA, will discuss the aftermath of the typhoon and ensuing earthquake in Boone Hall of the Scripps College Performing Arts Center, 231 E. 10th St.

Beginning at 1:30 p.m., two concurrent pre-concerts titled “Musicking that Matters” will take place in Boone Theater and in Pattison Courtyard located just outside of the Scripps College Performing Arts Center. These events will feature performances by students from The Claremont Colleges.

The main benefit concert begins at 3 p.m. in Garrison Theater of the Scripps College Performing Arts Center, 231 E. 10th St. This event will feature students and faculty from the Scripps College Music Department and The Joint Music Program of Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer Colleges. Filipino, European and American repertoire will be performed.

Audience donations will be collected at each performance. Proceeds will benefit Gawad Kalinga, a Filipino philanthropic organization dedicated to rebuilding communities. A limited number of guaranteed seats will be available for a pre-paid donation. Ticketing information is at http://www.scrippscollege.edu/Haiyan. The remaining 500 seats for this free event are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A capacity audience is expected. For more information, please call the Scripps College Music Department at 909-607-3266.
