Over 50 Arts Groups Join Together for Colossal OneOrlando Benefit Concert

June 28 at 8 pm at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Arts Groups Join Together for OneOrlando Fund Benefit

In what promises to be the largest number of performers ever assembled for one performance in Central Florida history, over 50 Arts Group (with the list still growing) will join together to support the first responders, the victims, and the families of the Pulse Tragedy. Led by Joshua Vickery of Central Florida Community Arts, Cole NeSmith of Creative City Project, Mitzi Maxwell of Mad Cow Theater, Robert Hill of Orlando Ballet, and Eric Jacobsen of Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, the 50 arts groups will create a memorial event including a huge choir and orchestra, with dance and theater pieces in an artistic collaboration unlike anything seen before in Central Florida. 

In addition, a variety of non-performing arts groups will participate backstage, with creative development, pre-show performances and visual displays. Entitled ‘Beautiful Together,’ this artistic journey toward hope will be performed on Tuesday, June 28 at the Dr. Phillips Center, with all proceeds going to the OneOrlando Fund. Tickets are $15, $25 and $45.  

If you’ve been wondering HOW you can help – or which fund to which to donate – your ticket purchase for this history-making performance is one sure way to support the victims while also supporting our communal “journey toward HOPE.”  Please call 844.513.2014 or visit drphillipscenter.org
