News From Britt Hill – by Donna Briggs, Britt Executive Director
We have taken the best of the Britt Bash and the best of last year’s Black & White Gala and now bring you The Best of Britt Benefit 
with wine, food, music and more! The Best of Britt Benefit on July 18 promises an entertaining evening for a good cause. The evening includes wines from over 20 local wineries, delicious food from ten local restaurants and great entertainment, all included in the $75 ticket price. The highly-entertaining Michael Kaeshammer, back by popular demand, will perform as the evening’s headliner. A consummate host, Kaeshammer is also a gifted singer and songwriter, a wonderful interpreter and an incendiary piano player. During the food and wine portion of the evening, The Bathtub Gin Serenaders will perform on the Table Rock City. All proceeds will benefit Britt Education programs.
The Benefit will also include a live auction with just 10 exclusive, one-of-a kind Britt items and packages. Classical music enthusiasts will love a dinner for ten at 2Hawk Winery with a private performance by Project Trio. For you rock star fans, how about concert tickets, a backstage dinner, and a meet & greet with Brandi Carlile for 10 people? Have you ever considered meeting “The Dude”? Well, now is your chance: bid on a package that includes a private meet & greet with Jeff Bridges!
Remember, Britt is much more than just a concert venue. Every dollar you spend by attending this event goes toward supporting our youth and education programs. Britt’s year-round education programs enrich the community through high-quality music programs, including camps, Music in the Mornings Listening Program, internships, artist in residencies, outreach programs and much more.
