Easton Flutist Uses Music to Raise Money for MS
Easton, PA, February 01, 2012 --(PR.com)-- A chamber music concert will be held to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) on February 26, 2012 at 2:00. The concert will take place at Trinity Church, 234 Spring Garden Street, Easton, PA. The suggested donation is $15, and all proceeds will go to NMSS.
Organizer and flutist Pamela Taylor is local to Easton and she's one of 13,000 people in the area who has MS. In spite of her disease, she has been teaching and performing for over 30 years.
Taylor: "MS is a mysterious and often misunderstood disease. Symptoms differ from patient to patient. Some people believe their life is over, when diagnosed. Although I can't speak for every patient, I found that it is possible to have MS and still lead an active life as a professional musician.
"The Delaware Valley has a high percentage of MS patients, and the need for assistance is increasing every year. The National MS Society plays an important role in the development of new programs, treatments and medications that give hope and help to thousands of patients. That's why they have my musical support!"
Pamela will be performing with Dolores Dillon-Howlett (viola), Elaine Christy (harp), and Dale Grandfield (piano & organ). The program includes pieces by Bloch, Debussy, Puccini, Taktakishvili, and Vierne.
About MS: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. To find out more about MS and the National MS Society, go to www.nmss.org.
