SAN DIEGO — It is not uncommon for music stars performing benefit concerts to give a shout-out or two to the cause they are supporting.
But Alicia Keys did far more than just pay lip service to Curebound — the year-old San Diego nonprofit that funds groundbreaking cancer research — during her private, unadvertised Friday night benefit performance at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.
She demonstrated her commitment near the start and near the finish of her 13-song performance, for which Keys was accompanied by her five-piece band and 31 members of the San Diego Symphony, ably led by guest conductor Sean O'Loughlin.
