Sing to Live Community Chorus Performance June 25, 2006 in River Forest
CHICAGO, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Sing to Live-Live to Sing, a
not-for-profit organization founded by Chicago resident Melinda Pollack,
was established to create an all voice community chorus to provide an
interactive musical outlet for men and women whose lives have been touched
directly or indirectly by breast cancer. The chorus serves, in part, as a
support group that celebrates hope and survival and provides a sense of
community for people that share similar experiences with regards to breast
cancer. In addition, it provides a rich musical experience for both its
members and the community.
A breast cancer survivor herself, Pollack found as she researched
support groups for her own journey, that none incorporated music. It was
then that she decided to start a community chorus to fill this void. "I was
very surprised since music is such a healing activity," says Pollack. "I
thought it would be a great way to provide support to the breast cancer
community." "A side benefit," says Pollack, "is performing for the
community. This allows us to share the beauty of music."
The Sing to Live Community Chorus will hold its spring performance,
"Birthday Tributes and Celebrations," on Sunday, June 25, 2006 at 4:00 p.m.
at Dominican University, Lund Auditorium, 7900 West Division Street, River
Forest.
This performance will be directed by Dr. Wilbert O. Watkins. Dr.
Watkins brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in conducting, voice
and music education. Dr. Watkins, who has directed myriad choral groups
both in the Chicago area and in the U.S., carefully selected each piece for
the program. Cassie Makeeff, known in the Chicago area for her coaching
work with opera singers, provides her incredible skills as accompanist.
Tickets are $20.00 and may be purchased on the organization's website
at http://www.singtolive.org or at the door on the evening of the event.
