A cappella ensemble performs vocal music in support of the Maui Strong Fund
McGRATHPR.com – In support of the communities affected by the recent Maui wildfire disaster, Friends in Song a cappella vocal ensemble presents “Friends for Maui: Starting All Over,” a benefit concert, on Sunday, October 15, 2 pm, at First Trinitarian Congregational Church, Scituate. The ensemble is directed by William B. Richter. Admission is $10 per person, payable in cash at the door. Additional donations are encouraged. All proceeds directly benefit the Maui Strong Fund, launched by the Hawai’i Community Foundation (#MauiStrongFund). The concert is sponsored by Michelle McGrath PR.
“Friends for Maui” features a program of uplifting songs selected to inspire hope in the wake of the tragic Maui wildfire devastation, stirring audiences and singers alike. Diverse repertoire is united by a “hope for the future” mindset, conveyed through inspirational performances. The concert subtitle, ‘Starting All Over,’ is derived from the recent issued cover tune of Oahu-native American Idol winner Iam Tongi’s original song “Starting All Over Again,” a support anthem to raise awareness for the cause, the charities those in need, and to benefit Tongi’s greater Hawaiian community. Friends in Song performs its own arrangement of this tune during this concert. Together, we are stronger!
Friends in Song is an ensemble of 15 vocalists, many professional musicians, who have performed together in friendship and harmony for 13 years. The group is recognized across the region for their tightly woven harmonies and joyous concerts.
