A Proclamation of Hope: Sing for the Cure
June 12, 2011 - 7pm
Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts
Meymandi Concert Hall, Raleigh
The Common Woman Chorus and the Triangle Gay Men's Chorus present the Triangle premiere performance of Sing for the Cure.
An uplifting and positive musical experience, Sing for the Cure tells the stories of breast cancer survivors, their families and friends. This emotionally charged and powerful work was commissioned in 2000 by Susan G. Komen for the Cure as a result of founder Nancy Brinker's belief that more would listen to the message if it was delivered through the powerful medium of music.
This world-renowned choral work with orchestra has moved and delighted thousands with its examination of the fears, trials, and even the humor of dealing with breast cancer.
Narration provided by WRAL-TV's Debra Morgan and David Crabtree.
