Alexandria, VA – Not all children in Alexandria can afford to take music lessons, which is why the Alexandria Music Makers Scholarship Fund was started in 2023. “We want to make sure all kids have a chance to study music with a professional instructor,” Debbie Wells, treasurer for the organization, told The Zebra Press.“Right now, we are paying for lessons for four children,” Wells added, “and one plays the trumpet, and will be playing with us on Sunday!”On Sunday, March 8, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Port City Brewing Company, located at 3950 Wheeler Avenue, three local bands, 38-2 Base, Jack & The Jokers, and The Hip Replacements, will play and sing soulful jazz and oldies to raise money for private music lesson scholarships for local kids.
The concert is free. If you’d like more information, or would like to donate, visit alexandriamusicmakers.org
