CEO and founder of Save Our Musicians Foundation Dennis Cunningham welcomes the audience. The concert was in partnership with the School of the Arts Foundation (SOAFI). “Mr. Cunningham approached me about two years ago with regards to doing a fundraiser for the school,” SOAFI major gifts officer John Richards said. “He had heard about us and I just brought him to a concert. Our jazz concert actually blew him away. He wanted to help out young students who were wanting to be in the world of the arts, a bit more leaning towards music, but hes open to all the art departments that we have.”

“Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury serves as commentary to warn against censorship; the title itself corresponds to the degree at which a book burns.
