PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany United Methodist Church is pleased to be hosting a Canticles performance on Sunday, April 10 at 7:00 p.m. Presented by the nonprofit Triad Arts Ensemble, this music ministry directly benefits three New Jersey organizations that support those impacted by HIV/AIDS and in memory of those lost to the disease. The concerts also raise awareness, dispel ignorance and help to shine God’s love through the compassion, talents and financial gifts of those attending and performing.
The Canticles concerts benefit the following charities that are concerned with the quality of life for persons living with HIV/AIDS and the remembrance of lives lost: New Jersey AIDS Services based in Morristown, the NAMES Project of Northern New Jersey, which supports the AIDS Memorial Quilt; and the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children in Newark.
Tickets are $15.00 for general admission, $12.00 for students and seniors, $25.00 for a contributor ticket and $60.00 for a Program Sponsor (which includes two tickets and a one-line message in the program). You can purchase tickets online at www.CanticlesforLife.org, in person through the church office, by mailing the completed flyer/order form, or at the door the evening of the concert. Pick up a flyer/order form, visit the Canticles web site or call (973) 763-5481 for further information. All ticket proceeds directly benefit the three charities.
The Canticles for Life AIDS Benefit Concerts began in the spring of 1997 and have been held almost annually since then. Over $124,000 has been raised for the New Jersey AIDS charities, and the concerts have featured numerous local performers and dozens of pieces by New Jersey composers.
