The annual Many Voices, One Song celebration concert will be held tonightThursday, April 19, at 7 p.m. The event will feature a musical celebration of spiritual and ethnic diversity and will benefit Multifaith Works, a non-profit organization which provides support for people living with AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses.
This year, the event's success is crucial to Multifaith Works' AIDS-relief program, Shanti. With recent changes to the Ryan White Care act, Shanti was chosen by the government as a program no longer meeting government priorities. As a result, Shanti lost nearly $42,000 of its funding - nearly one-third of its total budget.
Shanti currently supports community members affected by the AIDS epidemic who currently are alone. The event will capture the artistry and energy of performers from diverse spiritual and ethnic backgrounds.
The event is emceed by Debra Jarvis and features world music from Ecuador and Japan as well as the St. Therese Catholic Church Parish's Shades of Praise Gospel Choir.
Tickets are $15 for advance purchase and $20 at the door.
