    Ten Grands is the concept of the Snowman Foundation, who's vision is to promote the musical arts in the Pacific Northwest. What began as the vision of Northwest composer and pianist Michael Allen Harrison evolved into a multi- community effort which shares the joy, the healing, the learning, and the life-changing gifts music has to offer. PONCHO is proud to be selected as the beneficiary of the evening’s proceeds.
