Vista Del Mar Jazzfest
October 20th, 2009
On October 18, 2009 we were proud to co-chair the 1st Annual Vista Del Mar Jazzfest on the grounds of Vista. Pat Prescott of 94.7 the WAVE hosted a star studded event featuring The E Family with Sheila E., her dad Pete Escovedo, and brothers Juan and Peter Michael. Joining them was Grammy Award winning Dave Koz, Patrice Rushen, Ndugu Chancler, “Living Single’s” TC Carson, Karen Briggs, and Sylvia Brooks. The audience was moved by a special performance by Vista’s very own youth choir singing “Fly Like An Eagle”.
Los Angeles and its surrounding communities came out to support this amazing facility that offers a range of social and psychological services that include psychiatric residential and day treatment, individual and family counseling, foster care and adoption, and their credited VIP Autism Program.
Elevate Hope Foundation (EHF) is proud to offer and sponsor two amazing programs in conjunction with Vista’s Arts Enrichment. “Garage Band” 101 & 102, and Songwriter’s Symposium was created especially for Vista residents and students to provide a more comprehensive arts experience.
In remodeling and refurbishing their music room, EHF created a state of the art ProTools recording studio and classroom for interested students and enthusiasts. Proceeds from the Jazzfest will support Vista’s Arts Enrichment programs in which EHF is directly involved.
