Save The Date ~ November 4th ~ Voices for Peace Concert

November is Rotary Foundation month, and to celebrate Rotary is taking over Symphony Hall! 

Hundreds of adults and children will join together to learn a three-part harmony and sing “Wake Up Everybody”, originally recorded by Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes. (No singing or musical experience is required.)

This will be a fundraiser for Rotary Foundation.  Further, the event will be recorded and turned into a professional quality video honoring the new Rotary Peace Center scheduled to open in Istanbul, Turkey in 2024.

Rotary will partner with Greg Chastain, founder of the well-known musical charity Voice for Hope, an organization which has raised nearly one million dollars for cancer research through musical performance. See their story on YouTube at this link.

This will be a multi-District, family-friendly fun event, and more information about this one-of-a-kind concert will be forthcoming in the Fall.
