GRAMMY-winning artist and pop culture icon Barry Manilow performed his first-ever solo concert at the Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 24. The concert featured the 60-piece Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and included Manilow's hits and a few surprises. In partnership with the GRAMMY Foundation, this special concert coincided with the inaugural event for the Manilow Music Project. A pre-concert gala provided desperately needed musical instruments for the Los Angeles Unified School District to help offset drastic budget cuts to local music programs. Manilow appeared at a private pre-show reception for VIP donors, with all proceeds going directly to the MPP and GRAMMY Foundation.
