Arts for Art Benefit Concert

Arts for Art will hold a benefit concert for their music series in memory of Peter Kowald - a great musician, a great bass player and a wonderful friend of Tor Snyders. One of the founders of FMP and the German free jazz musicians movement. He was the chief organizer of the Sound Unity Festivals in the 80's and a regular participant, who helped out by making and serving sandwiches in the AFA Vision Festival's makeshift kitchen. This event speaks for itself. It is not to be missed.
