Sara Bareilles to Perform Benefit Concert for Domestic Violence Victims
Thania Garcia Sara Bareilles will be performing in New York’s Capitol Theatre for a special benefit concert commemorating National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the 30th anniversary of the Pace Women’s Justice Center. The non-profit, which aims to protect the rights of domestic violence victims, will host the “Raising the Bar Benefit Concert” on Thursday. Bareilles, known for her piano-driven pop-soul and emotive lyricism, was tapped by the organization to “give voice to the difficult journey from victim to survivor,” according to the event’s press release. “It is thrilling to have Sara Bareilles collaborate on our benefit concert to raise awareness for victims of domestic violence,” added Cindy Kanusher, executive director for PWJC. “At a time when the rights of so many are being challenged, it is imperative to continue our work, protecting the rights of women and victims of abuse.”
