Let The Sun Shine In Benefit Concert

 
"Let the Sunshine In" Benefit Concert features Sting, Bob Weir, Narada Michael Walden, Mary Wilson, Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis, Jr., David Grisman, Earl Klugh, and many others.

Grammy award-winning music producer, musician and songwriter Narada Michael Walden presented "Let the Sunshine In", a benefit concert featuring Sting, Bob Weir, Maestro Michael Morgan, The Supremes’ Mary Wilson, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. of the Fifth Dimension, David Grisman, Earl Klugh, plus many more exceptional musicians this past May 25th.

The concert benefited Chris Rodriguez, an 11-year-old Oakland youth, who was hit by a stray bullet while at a piano lesson in 2008. He is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Many of the performers were accompanied by an orchestra of students from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. The orchestra was conducted by Maestro Michael Morgan, music director of the Oakland East Bay Symphony and faculty member at the Conservatory.

The concert also supported the scholarship fund of the Conservatory, and the work of the Narada Michael Walden Foundation, which aims to serve, inspire, educate and provide financial support to children, adults, musicians, and worthy organizations through the vehicle of music, music production, music management, concerts and donations.
