The Turtle Creek Chorale is hosting a huge (local) star-studded emergency benefit concert for Haiti this Friday, Feb. 19 at Cathedral of Hope, 5910 Cedar Springs, from 6 p.m.-midnight. If you’ve never seen the Turtle Creek Chorale perform, there’s no excuse to not see at least part of this 6-hour long “Voices for Haiti” show — suggested donation at the door is $25 and the marathon length concert will feature myriad musical and non-musical guests such as ENCORE!, The Women’s Chorus of Dallas, Cathedral of Hope Choir and Orchestra, Men’s Chorus of Hamilton Park Baptist Church, Resounding Harmony, Liz Mikel, Linda and Larry Petty, Anton Shaw, Gary Floyd and the cast of Theatre 3’s “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change”, TCU’s Concert Chorale, City Councilmember Angela Hunt and many others. Del Shores, creator/director of SORDID LIVES, will also be presenting comedy and signing autographs.
Dr. Jonathan Palant, Artistic Director of the Turtle Creek Chorale, says of the event, “It’s a fortunate coincidence February 19th also marks the 30th birthday of the Turtle Creek Chorale. Hosting an event of this magnitude and for such a worthy and timely cause is precisely the kind of gift we had hoped to receive for this momentous occasion. The four pillars of our mission are to Entertain, Educate, Unite and Uplift. I believe Voices For Haiti not only realizes these, but it exceeds all expectations of them as well.”
Everyone working this show is a volunteer, so 100 percent of the money collected will benefit the Clinton/Bush Haiti fund.
