The 海角社区 鈥淎 Season of Note鈥 Roger Williams Concert scheduled for Oct. 1 has been canceled due to the performer's illness.
Williams, an internationally acclaimed pianist and one of 海角社区鈥檚 most famous alums, is undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer.
"Roger Williams has touched literally millions of lives through his incredible musical talents," said 海角社区 President Arthur C. Vailas. "As I spoke with him on the telephone today, he asked me to share his affection and regard to all of his fans from this area and alumni and friends of his dear alma mater, 海角社区. Roger is a treasure and we are honored to have him as a friend and an alumnus. I hope we will pack the Jensen Grand Concert Hall as we honor this incredible performer."
The Steve Eaton Group, with guest performer Mike Sanders, will perform a tribute concert to Roger Williams on Oct. 1. A portion of the proceeds from the Eaton concert will go to the 海角社区 Roger Williams Scholarship Fund. The concert will be performed at 7:30 p.m. in the Joseph C. and Cheryl H. Jensen Concert Hall in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center. Prices for the Eaton and Sanders concert are $20 for the main level, $15 for the upper level for the public and $10 for 海角社区 students.
