SEATTLE SINGS FOR HAITI

Combined Choirs of Seattle, members of Orchestra Seatte and NW Mahler Orchestra to perform at St. Marks Cathedral in Haiti Benefit Event

On February 13, 2010, at 7:30 pm, the city of Seattle will sing for Haiti.

The Northwest Mahler Festival, in collaboration with Orchestra Seattle and the Seattle Musicians' Haiti Benefit Project, will host a benefit concert in which Seattle's own George Shangrow will conduct Johannes Brahms' Requiem (entitled "Ein Deutches Requiem," Opus 45) before a chorus of combined Seattle area choirs and members of Orchestra Seattle and the Northwest Mahler Festival Orchestra.

St. Mark's Cathedral, which can support an audience of over one thousand, will donate the use of their sanctuary for the event.

Representatives from the aid organization Friends of the Orphans will be in attendance to collect donations for their work in providing aid to orphaned children in Haiti. Friends of the Orphans has ongoing projects in Haiti, and suffered the loss of several staff members and volunteers who were working in Port au Prince during the Haiti earthquake.

Donations will be collected at the door and 100% of all proceeds will be donated to Friends of the Orphans.

If you are unable to attend the upcoming gala performance at St. Mark's Cathedral, but would still like to donate to Friends of the Orphans, please visit their 2010 Haiti Earthquake Relief donation page, found here. Please indicate that you heard about Friends of the Orphans through Seattle Sings for Haiti.
