Chili Peppers to aid kids programs
Expect the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ gig Saturday at the Henry Fonda Theater to be extra special.
The show benefits the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, a nonprofit founded in 2001 by Peppers bassist Flea to put music into the lives of local kids.
It also features a performance by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam as well as appearances by other celebrity guests. Students from the conservatory will also perform.
“I did band, choir, everything, but when I went back to the school years later I found out the programs were gone,” said Flea, who attended Fairfax High. “I was shocked. I decided on the spot to do something.”
Proceeds will raise money toward scholarships, the expansion of a summer camp and a permanent home.
Tickets, available at www.silverlakeconservatory.com, are $250, and VIP passes are $500 and include a post-show rooftop party with a performance by Mickey Avalon.
