Concert for Newtown

On Feb 10, 2013, two months after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a concert was held in Newtown, Conn., to bring together the local community in song, spirit and common purpose. Local public broadcasting stations aired the very moving one hour PBS special called “Concert for Newtown,” which premiered on WNET.

The concert featured performances by Peter Yarrow, Dar Williams, Bethany Yarrow & Rufus Cappadocia as well as Newtown’s own Flagpole Radio Café that includes Francine and David Wheeler, the parents of 6-year-old Ben, who died at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14, 2012.
