From classical musicians to jam bands, artists are hosting shows to generate funds for Marshall Fire victims.

On Friday, Boulder Symphony will present a benefit concert at Grace Commons Church in Boulder at 7:30 p.m.

Members will play Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale,” narrated by award-winning poet Dominique Christina.

“As musicians and artists at the Boulder Symphony, community service has always been one of our most sacred values,” said Devin Patrick Hughes, music director and conductor of Boulder Symphony. “It feels essential to support our neighbors in their greatest times of need.”

Violinist Gregory Walker, who lost his home in the fire, will also be joining the ensemble to perform the theme from “Schindler’s List.”

“Gregory Walker has given so much to our community for decades, from his electric performances to his trailblazing compositions, inspiring us to go where no one has gone before, in the realm of symphonic music,” Hughes said. “Right after the fires, after losing all of his possessions, we chatted. Putting myself in his shoes, I was feeling grief on his behalf and, amazingly, he had nothing but optimism and hope to share.”
