A Night of Musical Excellence

This is a fundraiser concert by the Rotary Club of Surrey Fraser Heights. It is sponsored by the Surrey Board of Trade and the Korean Consulate General in Vancouver.

This is a milestone concert and one of the few ways people can have a direct major positive impact on the lives of immigrants in our community, and thereby imrpoving the quality of life for all in our community. If this objective aligns with your interests, please support the concert.

· Purchase tickets for yourself or as gifts for clients
· Purchase advertising in the 8 ½ “ X 11” glossy concert program (contact George Pedersson at gpederss@direct.ca or 604-809-1157)

The concert includes award-winning instrumental soloists on piano, cello and Kayagum (traditional Korean stringed instrument), as well as traditional Korean drumming, a junior symphony and both a junior and adult mixed choir. Only 2-3 songs will be Korean. There will also be a demonstration of ballroom dancing by two young, highly-ranked dancers. It will be a wonderful and highly entertaining evening!

The purpose of the concert is to make a positive contribution to promoting peace and goodwill amongst all cultures in our community, so that immigrants can feel more at home here and connected to society. Research shows that a poor sense of connectedness to society is a significant issue for many immigrants, leading to a deterioration in their health, poor English ability, underemployment and a limited quality of life.

The first step to increasing connectedness and have a major positive impact on their lives is mutual appreciation and greater understanding. This concert is a start in that direction. Everyone wins!

This year, the talent of the Korean community is highlighted and portrayed in a way the general public may not normally see Koreans. There is truly a passion for excellence, a joy of performing and an appreciation of the arts; positive attributes most people admire.
