Wokai.org, Charity Auction

On the 4th of March 2011, Fritz played for Wokai.org, a China-based charity that aids rural poor in China. The event was held in Tyler Print Institute, a lovely gallery where this bid for charity was held.

It was the first time the quartet has performed in this venue and for this organization. The novel experience was made even more memorable by the friendly hosts and staff at Wokai. The guests were equally warm as well, some standing near and giving us their undivided attention in listening to our music in the midst of the chatter that was going on at the reception.

At the end of the reception, we got to hear a presentation on the work that Wokai was doing and where the money raised in the auction was going. It made Fritz's donation in kind that much more personal to know that what we contributed was ultimately going to benefit the lives of the people in rural China.

We are glad the work we do and the music we play extends far beyond merely entertainment. This is one of the faces of touching lives and hearts that keeps us going!

Goodie bags. We were each given one. There was a enormous, Singapore-hand-made lollipop inside that was the size of my hand, from wrist to finger!

Champagne! Cheers to Wokai.org and its contribution to charity, and also a toast to our guest Violinist, Jessie! Fritz will be featuring her in our future gigs and we are glad to have had a successful peformance tonight to start our partnership off.
