The First Annual Rehart Gesner Benefit Recital is an endeavor to raise money to help defray the costs of private voice lessons for music educators in the Las Vegas area. Our focus is to provide assistance to music teachers who would like to explore their own voices, but have not been able to manage the cost of lessons.

The Rehart Gesner Fund is from a place of inspiration. Inspired by the similar relationships we had with our grandmothers, we decided to name our cause after them. Ruth Rehart, Michelle's grandmother, was always there to encourage her in her music endeavors. They shared a love of fashion and baking chocolate chip cookies. Lorraine Gesner, Katy's grandmother, was her advocate in life and in music. She paid for private piano and voice lessons and attended every performance. We want to honor the memory of our grandmothers by advocating for singers the way our grandmothers advocated for us. Offering assistance to those who want to grow and nurture their talent, when they otherwise might not be able to, is the heart of our cause.
