The 2014 HIV/AIDS Benefit Concert
The 2014 HIV/AIDS Benefit Concert will feature the Capital Symphony Orchestra, the largest symphony orchestra to play in South Africa since 1994. All proceeds from the concert will go to the Southern African Clinicians Society, in order to train health-care workers to diagnose and care for HIV positive patients better. Each ticket purchase comes with a free HIV training course for health-care workers from MPC and the Foundation for Professional Development to the value of R450.
Music lovers can thus enjoy a beautiful night out while making a concrete contribution to HIV/AIDS. On 29 November the Pretoria night air will come alive with the exquisite sounds of classical music, including pieces by legendary composers Gershwin and Rachmaninov. Featuring Denise Sutton as concert master, Charl du Plessis as the Steinway artist and Keith Moss as the conductor, the evening promises to be an elegant celebration of beautiful melodies.
According to Lauren Jankelowitz, CEO of the HIV Clinicians Society: "We are thrilled that MPC is supporting our efforts to care for those with HIV and AIDS. Although we have made so much progress in treating people living with HIV, giving them a chance at longer and healthier lives, there is still a very long way to go. We urge people to buy concert tickets as this is a chance to support a very good cause while enjoying a lovely night out."
The 2014 HIV/AIDS Benefit Concert will be held at the ZK Matthews Hall at UNISA in Pretoria and the concert begins at 6.30pm for 7pm. Tickets can be booked online at www.itickets.com/events/332536. For more information, contact Lauren Jankelowitz on +27 (0)73 820 9204 or gro.cosvihas@nerual.
