In early March, the Music Compound Album Ensemble, comprising 14 students, ages 13 to 70, and five staff members, presented two performances of the complete "Rumours" album by Fleetwood Mac. Proceeds from the concert benefited Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center, or SPARCC, a charity selected to reflect the troubled circumstances that famously surrounded the band during the recording of the album. Music Compound studio manager Alyssa Martin delivered a check for $542 to SPARCC in mid-March.The Album Ensemble is one of many programs Music Compound provides for adults and youth who wish to connect with like-minded individuals in a positive and fun learning environment. Music Compound has locations in Bradenton and Sarasota. For more information, visit musiccompound.com.
