3 and 4 Year Old Solo Violinists Perform to Help Children
On May 26, 2010 The Health Museum will be the host for a gala to introduce Benny Bear, to the world. And Benny Bear will in turn introduce his new children’s book, Benny Bear Visits the Hospital, which will benefit over 25,000 indigent children this next year in the Harris County Hospital District.
Entertainment for the evening will be by children from 3 to 18 who are with Texas Young Virtuosos String Ensemble from the Durfee Music School of Texas in Southwest Houston. “My students really wanted to help with awareness for this project because they are learning, even at the age of 3, that ‘giving back’ is what community is all about,” said Joyce Durfee-Gertsman the school’s founder and director.
Literacy statistics show that when a hospital or doctor gives a young child a book it has a profound effect on that child’s love of reading. And a love of reading will take that child far with their education. Because of these stats The BOOKS Program at Ben Taub was created.
