The Harmony for Hope 2019-20 season continues in Woodinville on March 15 at 7:30 p.m., with a concert called Les Six-and-a-half. Proceeds will benefit The Sophia Way, an organization committed to ending homelessness for women.
Performers include Seattle Symphony oboist Ben Hausmann, Metropolitan Opera clarinettist Sean Osborn, Pacific Northwest Ballet bassoonist Dana Jackson, and University of Washington pianist Cristina Valdes. The program includes music by two composers of Les Six, Francis Poulenc and Germaine Tailleferre, along with music by Erwin Schulhoff and Heitor Villa-Lobos. Les Six was a loose collection of composers from early 20th-Century France, whose influence was felt far and wide, and is still felt today.

At The Sophia Way, the goal is to make homelessness rare, brief and one-time event for the women experiencing it. The women who come to the shelter are in survival mode. The shelters offer them a warm, safe space to take a shower, rest and sleep, and nourishing food to give them strength. Sophia Way case managers focus on their overall wellbeing -– physical, mental, and financial. Their aim is to move the women into a stable and secure environment – their own home. https://sophiaway.org
