“BLESSINGS FOR BURMA” CONCERT
“BLESSINGS FOR BURMA” CONCERT on 20.11.08
Featuring: ARCHIE ROACH, RUBY HUNTER, KAVISHA MAZZELLA & KATHRYN CLEMENTS
On Friday 2nd May Cyclone Nargis struck Burma leaving at least 134,000 dead or missing and approximately 2.4million clinging to survival.
Even though the crisis in Burma has all but disappeared from the front pages of our daily newspapers, now is a crucial time to open our hearts and lend a hand. Whilst our own home values are currently declining before our eyes, at least they are still standing and we are fed and sheltered.
To this end, three of Australia’s finest artists are presenting a night to remember in one of Melbourne’s most exclusive music venues. Seat sales in the plush setting of the Blue Diamond Lounge Bar, will be limited to 200. Imagine sitting in a club lounge, overlooking the city skyline, whilst being entertained by our own Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter, Kavisha Mazzella and Kathryn Clements and support artists on grand piano, violin and other acoustic accompaniment.
Better still; due to the generously donated venue and services of all the performers, and sponsorship by the Australian Entertainment Agents Association Inc., who are covering any promotional costs, 100% of ticket sale receipts will reach the cause. 70% will help the people of Burma through World Vision whilst 30% will help Indigenous Australians through Oxfam Australia. This division of funds acknowledges Archie and Ruby’s generous contribution and the ongoing support needed within our own community.
Details: Date: Thursday 20th November, 7.30pm
Venue: Blue Diamond Lounge, Level 15, 123 Queen St. Melbourne
Tickets:$49.00 or $39.00 concession at www.fitzroyoxfam.org.au (click Blessings for Burma)
