For the past twelve years, Hands for Hope has had the top smooth jazz artists perform for us at their annual Starlight Jazz Serenade held at the Academy of Television Arts & Science.

I have attended regularly and I can't believe the well known jazz artists that I have enjoyed at this annual fundraiser.  This event is the best kept secret and once you attend this event, you will never miss another one.  Where can you see four stellar smooth jazz performances, a delicious VIP reception and a silent auction that is filled with artists memorabilia that you won't see at another auction?  Don’t miss the 13th Annual Starlight Jazz Serenade! Tell a friend! Bring a group of ten and get a free ticket.

The 13th Annual Starlight Jazz Serenade will showcase another outstanding line up of incredible award winning jazz musicians and entertainers. The event takes place on Friday, March 1, 2013 at 8:00 pm at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.  The event will benefit the North Hollywood non profit organization, Hands for Hope which provides free after school and single parent programs.

The Annual Starlight Jazz Serenade is a musical extravaganza that strikes a chord in the community to encourage participation and contribution. This fundraising concert gathers jazz lovers, professional musicians, and celebrities together to celebrate and support the academic, athletic, artistic, and social enrichment programs provided by Hands for Hope for at-risk youth.

Past performers include: Norman Brown, Michael Lington, Patrice Rushen, TC Carson, Peter White, Gail Jhonson, George Duke, Karen Briggs, Blake Aaron, Brian Culbertson, Boney James, Euge Groove, Michael Lington, Dave Koz, Kevin Toney, ForeCast, Rick Braun, Jeff Lorber and many more. This year’s event will be a star-studded affair hosted by Pat Prescott of KTWV 94.7 The Wave.

Seating is limited so book your tickets today! The event is open to the general public. Available admission tickets include: Ring of Honor ($100), VIP ($75), and general admission ($50).  Ring of Honor and VIP tickets will include access to a pre-concert delicious VIP Reception with Pat Prescott and various artists from the evening’s line-up. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is located at 5220 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, CA  91602.
