For Immediate Release

"Aftermath Recovery Benefit Concert for Haiyan Disaster Survivors"

at Christ Church in New Brunswick, NJ

    New Brunswick, NJ – A benefit concert for Philippine survivors of Typhoon Haiyan will be held Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at Christ Church,5 Paterson Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901. The event is produced by bass-baritone opera singer Nicholas Hay and sponsored by Web of Compassion.  Suggested donation is twenty dollars for adults and ten dollars for students.  

    The event will represent a unique variety of music and culture including opera excerpts, flamenco dancing and Filipino music. The lineup of talented performers donating their efforts to help raise funds for this noteworthy cause include sopranos Amy Suznovich, Jenne Carey, and Alissa Indeck; mezzo soprano Jessica Renfro Ling; tenor John Villemaire; baritone Stan Lacey; bass-baritone Nicholas Hay; Flamenco dancer Lisa Bottalico, and the Philippine Chamber Rondalla of New Jersey.  Web of Compassion president Grace Asagra will speak on behalf of Web of Compassion.  

 On November 8, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines.  Typhoon Haiyan was the most powerful super storm ever recorded.  As a result, the aftermath has affected the lives of 1.47 million people. The already high death toll will rise if we do not help with the relief effort in the Philippines.  Therefore, it is critically important that people step up and help with the relief effort in order to help victims of the disaster who are in need.  As of today, over 6,000 people are dead, nearly 29,000 are injured, over a thousand still missing while countless numbers have lost their homes. The work to help the victims of the typhoon has only just begun.  We are hoping to raise 2,500 dollars, so please come to this special event.
