By Youth, for Youth
Concert for Tsunami Relief
by Young Musicians in the National Capital Region
2:30 PM, January 30, 2005
Auditorium, the Library and Archives Canada
395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0N4
Compassion for the victims of the recent tsunami has transcended all divisions in humanity. This disaster has affected all of us as we are all too aware of the awesome wrath of Nature is both boundless and indiscriminate.
Many of the scars and wounds that our kindred in Asia have suffered may never be healed, yet we, students from the Canadian National Capital Region, are trying to do what little we can to help the youth affected by the tsunami.
We will hold the above concert. The event is sponsored by our parents so that every penny of the proceeds will go to the children affected by the tsunami via the Canadian Red Cross Society, who's VP will be attending the event.
The concert will consist of music which expresses love and emotion. All the musicians are students from the National Capital Region and have won numerous national, provincial or regional awards, as well as various music scholarships. We are honoured to have Dr. Elaine Keillor, professor of Music at Carleton University, as our Artistic Director for the event.
Please come join us and help ease the suffering of the children affected by this calamity.
