Free Will Donation ($10 Suggested)
The Ocean State’s premiere community wind band, the Rhode Island Wind Ensemble (RIWE) is a dynamic performing group of fifty skilled professional and avocational musicians. “One World” will be a family-friendly concert of light “pops” music from around the globe.
All donations collected at the concert will benefit the Seamen's Church Institute of Newport. Seamen’s began as, and remains, a place of hospitality for men and women making their livelihood or pleasure on the sea and along its shores. Sea captains, Navy sailors and immigrant fishermen were the first to seek her shelter; over time, constituents evolved into a unique mix of recreational sailors, waterfront workers, summer tourists and those in the community fallen on hard times. Today, Seamen’s enjoys a full range of visitors from every walk of life. The building is open 365 days a year from 7am to 4pm and serves approximately 50,000 people annually.
