18th Annual Holiday Sparkles & Spirits Event to Benefit Knoxville’s Musical Youth
Knoxville, Tenn. – (October 20, 2023) – The Joy of Music School announces the 18th annual Holiday Sparkles & Spirits to be held on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. in the stunning ballroom of Cherokee Country Club in Knoxville, Tennessee.
This festive occasion, sponsored this year by the Ed Russell Memorial Fund and Pipe Wrench Home Services, is the School’s biggest annual event.
Admission is $150 per person and can be purchased at joyofmusicschool.org. Holiday Sparkles & Spirits benefits the Joy of Music School, a nonprofit organization bringing tuition-free music education to thousands of financially disadvantaged children since its inception in 1998. This year’s event coincides with the celebration of a special milestone – the Joy of Music School’s 25th anniversary.
Guests will delight in a selection of tasty hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and a warm atmosphere filled with holiday spirit. The event will feature silent and live auctions with unique items in jewelry, arts and culture, travel, food, wine, home and garden, and more.
The evening will be highlighted by brief performances of holiday songs by Joy of Music School students. This year’s event will be a glittering celebration of music and a tribute to the community of teachers, supporters, and friends who have allowed the Joy of Music School to provide inspiration and mentorship to children in need for 25 years.
Joy of Music School Executive Director Frank Graffeo says, “This inspiring event always puts me in the best holiday spirit. The music, décor, food, drink, and especially the kids pull us in, and unite us in support of a cause that is close to many hearts.”
This event provides a unique opportunity for the community to watch students perform and for the students to witness the passion that many people have for the School. One student who performed at the event last year stated, “There were a lot of people, so it was exciting to wait for the moment to go on stage and perform for them. I also got to watch some of the other kids play for everyone which was really cool.”
