Pianist and composer Greg Starr will perform a concert to benefit a local nonprofit that helps 25,000 people a year in Pima County.
The concert will be held from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Tanque Verde Lutheran Church, 8625 E. Tanque Verde Road.
It's free, but donations will go to Interfaith Community Services, which runs programs for individuals and families who need food and emergency financial aid, people who are disabled and senior citizens.
Starr's performance will include selections from his most recent album, "A Singular Point of Grace: Songs From the Guesthouse," featuring original music for solo piano, according to a press release from Interfaith Community Services.
Starr has performed with groups across the country, including the Northwest Chamber Orchestra, the Kenosha Symphony, the Milwaukee Opera Company, and numerous artists such as Horace Silver, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Fred Rogers, The Bangles and Milli Vanilli, the news release said.

"I use my music as a means to give back, to our community, to our world," he said in the news release. "Organizations like Interfaith Community Services provide the help and hope so many need. My concerts are a small way I can help out, a way I can shed a light onto their valuable work and great contribution to our community."
ICS provides everything from rides to doctor's offices to home repairs, food boxes and financial assistance so people can pay for things such as utilities.
The nonprofit's main offices are at 2820 W. Ina Road and an east-side office at New Spirit Lutheran Church, 8701 E. Old Spanish Trail.
