The Eisner Intergenerational Orchestra hosts Los Angeles fire aid benefit concert

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KABC) -- The Eisner Intergenerational Orchestra hosted the Los Angeles Fire Aid Benefit Concert.

The Los Angeles Fire Aid Benefit concert supported locally based musicians and singers who were affected by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

Members of the Los Angeles Dream Orchestra, Los Angeles Master Chorale, and Los Angeles Opera Chorus performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

The Eisner Intergenerational Opera is a diverse group of musicians ranging from ages 13 to 80-years-old. The group unites a multigenerational sound that brings a unique musical repertoire.

Mayra Gonzales, a student participant in the Heart of LA Eisner Intergenerational Orchestra, explained her reasoning for participating in the benefit concert.

"I know firsthand how scary it is to evacuate from your home, and I want to be part of this special event for those who are still scared," said Gonzales. "I believe music can be healing, and that is what we need."

All proceeds from ticket sales and donations went directly to the Guitar Center Music Foundation, and the American Guild of Musical Artists to help rebuild the lives of musicians after the devastating fires in January.
