UCLA music professor Vladimir Chernov and Santa Monica College music professors Dennis Parnell and Gary Gray will showcase their talent in an operatic benefit concert Saturday with proceeds supporting The Achievable Clinic.

The event will be held at St. Augustine-by-the-sea Episcopal Church, 1227 Fourth Street, Santa Monica at 8 pm.

The clinic is a first-of-its-kind community health clinic in Southern California that will provide specialized healthcare services to children and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy and epilepsy. The new clinic space located in Culver City is under construction and expected to open to patients in Spring 2013.
