New Chamber Orchestra Debuts At Pakistan Embassy October 27, 2010

Washington, DC (Top40 Charts/ CounterPoint) - CounterPoint, an exciting new chamber orchestra, is making its debut performance at the Pakistan Embassy, 3517 International Court, Washington DC, October 27th at 6PM. CounterPoint and Walkabout Development Solutions International (WDSI) and the Pakistan American Business Association are co-sponsoring a fundraiser for the flood victims in Pakistan. This event will be the first fundraiser at the embassy. The concert is open to the public with a donation of $100.

"CounterPoint is pleased to offer this concert in support of the flood victims in Pakistan. As a diverse group of American musicians, we are also voicing our unequivocal support of people in need no matter what their religion or ethnicity. Rather than raising our voices and adding to global friction, we are playing powerful music that touches many cultures and brings us together in hopes that people will commit themselves to helping those in need and rejoice with us in the beauty and diversity in this our only world," said Dr. Bernstein, Chairman of the Board of CounterPoint.
