A Pitch-Perfect Night for the Arts
A music-loving crowd lit up the night for The Rye Arts Center’s Benefit Concert and Party at Coveleigh Club May 4. After watching artists at work and enjoying drinks on the patio, guests were treated to the sounds of local School of Rock students; Juice, a young Boston-based rock band; and Bernie Williams, who plays the guitar with as much passion and poise as he did centerfield.
Cheers to host Dennis Elsas, who knows a thing or two about rock and roll, and co-chairs Claire and Michael Griffiths and Shami and Anand Kini.
In the process of having a great deal of fun, supporters raised funds for the RAC’s many outreach programs that bring the arts to the community.
