Tickets Still Available for Sept. 10 Fund-raiser to Benefit Free Summer Concert Series in 2012

BETHLEHEM, PA—This Saturday's weather may bring with it yet another chance of rain and thunderstorms, but attendees at the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks benefit concert featuring three-time Grammy Award winner Blood, Sweat & Tears on Sept. 10, 7:30 p.m., will be nice and dry since the concert has been moved across the street to the indoor Musikfest Café at the ArtsQuest Center, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem.

"With the heavy rain we have been experiencing all week, the lawn of the Levitt Pavilion is saturated," says Levitt Pavilion Executive Director Olga Negron. "Relocating this concert to the Musikfest Café will ensure Mother Nature doesn't rain on this very important performance. We encourage people who are considering attending this show to get their tickets ahead of time, as the capacity of the Musikfest Café is less than that of the Levitt lawn. It's going to be a great concert, plus all proceeds from the evening go to support the 50 free concerts for the community that we'll present next summer."

Tickets for the Blood, Sweat & Tears show start at only $25 and are on sale now at www.levittsteelstacks.org and 610-332-3378. A limited number of VIP packages ($200 per ticket) that include admission to a special pre-show dinner and a meet & greet with the band are also available.

Partners helping to make the evening possible include Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, as well as media partner LehighValleyLive.com. For more information, visit www.levittsteelstacks.org.
