Bernadette Tasher, San Marco Chamber Music Society board member; Eric and Ellen Olsen, founding members of the San Marco Chamber Music Society; Leslie Burkhalter, JDRF board member; and Brooks Biagini, market director for JDRF.

Members of the San Marco Chamber Music Society raised $3,461 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) during their annual virtual benefit concert Oct. 18. For more than 10 years, San Marco Chamber Music Society musicians have performed in a special benefit concert to raise money for JDRF in honor of the daughter of Society Founders Ellen and Eric Olson, who lives with type 1 diabetes.

Playing in the benefit concert were Les Roettges, flute; Scott Watkins, harpsichord and piano; Eric Olson, oboe; DJ Cheek, viola; and Ellen Olson, viola.  They performed music by Johann Janitsch, Howard Hanson, Paul Coletti, and Alyssa Morris.

Over 14 years, the San Marco Chamber Music Society has raised well over $25,000 in support of diabetes research in search of better treatments and a cure for type 1 diabetes.
