Classical soprano throws concert for a cause close to her heart
Toronto, September 9 – Canadian classical soprano Measha Brueggergosman announces she will perform a special Toronto concert on Saturday, October 17th.
Recovering from heart surgery in June, the 32-year old darling of classical music is pro
ving she’s as fierce as ever. On the cusp of a brand new record release, the singer is kicking off a series of North American concerts in support of AMREF – the African Medical & Research Foundation – a cause close to her heart.
An Evening with Measha Brueggergosman takes place at 5pm on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 inside the historic St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in downtown Toronto, followed by a private reception for 100 guests. This will be Brueggergosman’s sole Toronto performance of 2009 and promises to be a night to remember with none other than Fashion Television producer and star, Jeanne Beker as the evening’s host.
In 2007, Brueggergosman became the Goodwill Ambassador for AMREF Canada and has travelled twice to visit AMREF’s vital HIV/AIDS, malaria, water and sanitation and health education projects in Uganda and Kenya. Her experience with street children in Kenya and with war-affected children living in camps in northern Uganda strengthened her dedication to help them break free from the cycle of poor health and poverty.
A major supporter of AMREF’s work, Brueggergosman is now giving her time and her incredible voice for this special performance with 100% of net proceeds helping empower the most vulnerable and marginalized people in Africa improve their health and fight poverty.
Tickets for this special performance are $60, $125 and $175 and are on sale now. For more information or to purchase tickets, members of the public can contact AMREF Canada at 416-961-6981 or info@amrefcanada.org.
