The Esperanza Education Fund is thrilled to invite you to join us on March 14 for our fifth anniversary benefit concert, featuring the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo and honoring Mr. Donald Graham, former publisher of The Washington Post and founder ofthedream.us, a new multi-million dollar national scholarship for DREAMers. Mr. Graham will receive the first-ever Esperanza Award for his contributions to advancing hope in the immigrant community. The concert and award presentation will be followed by a champagne reception and special art exhibit featuring work by some of the region’s finest immigrant artists and artisans:  painters Naomi Chung, Delna Dastur, Teresa Oaxaca, and Michael Jose Torra; sculptor Patricia Silva-Santisteban; photographer Daniel Penchina; and fine jeweler Alberto Parada.

Esperanza is a community-financed college scholarship and mentorship program founded and operated by a diverse, volunteer group of young professionals in the capital region. Over the last five years Esperanza has awarded more than $450,000 to 50 local students.

Hailed as “the most dynamic duo of this generation,” Emmy-nominated and Juilliard-trained pianists Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe have toured the world’s leading concert halls with their explosive performances, while also electrifying audiences everywhere through their striking visual re-imagining of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.
