Dispatches from a happy Hullian

I'll be singing in the Statistics Canada Choir on the weekend, doing a Broadway medley, to benefit the Red Cross Haiti efforts.

Broadway and Beyond will be at St. Luke's Anglican Church at 760 Somerset West (corner Bell, near So Good), showtime is 7 PM on Saturday June 12th. Tickets are $12, or $10 for students and seniors. All profits will go to the Red Cross for its work in Haiti. I have some tickets for sale, or they will be for sale at the door (until we run out of space).

It's a beautiful church with nice acoustics, not too big, and we sing from some fun songs — the 100 Years of Broadway medley goes from the very beginnings to contemporaries like Webber and Sondheim. We'll also be singing three pieces from Notre Dame de Paris in their entirety. For a modest ticket price, you get all this music, a warm fuzzy feeling from helping the Red Cross help out in Haiti even after they've dropped off the front page news, and the pleasure of seeing a bunch of statisticians, systems people and scientists singing in bow-ties. What's not to like?
