A very significant concert for East Timor is to be held on Wednesday 21 March at the Melbourne Concert Hall. It will raise funds for the sort of projects which would not normally easily attract funds, and this is a great opportunity to be involved in some very relevant community development projects. The Boite has developed this special concert as a celebration of music to support the people of East Timor in their quest for respect, independence and peace. Two years in the making, this unique event features an amazing line-up of artists, all donating their time and showing their solidarity with the people of East Timor. Some of the highlights include Deb Conway, Kavisha Mazzella and the 200 voice Melbourne Millennium Chorus, plus an exclusive performance by 5 Do Oriente, who are travelling directly from Dili to be part of this concert. Also proudly joining the concert will be Christine Sullivan, The Dili All Stars, Manuhiri, Inanna East Timorese groups Rai Abut and Surik.. I greatly look forward to seeing these 2 local Timorese groups again - they are under recognised in Melbourne. All proceeds raised will go to a number of specially selected projects in East Timor. This will provide much needed assistance at a grass roots level, helping ex-political prisoners and their families, victims of torture and rape and their families, developing a music and cultural centre for East Timorese youth and supporting friendship city programmes between the Melbourne Cities of Darebin and Yarra with East Timor's second city Baucau. The Timorese are strong and proud people, and now is an crucial time in the history of their country. This concert is a chance for individuals, performers and organisations to show their support and admiration for the people of East Timor. The Concert for East Timor will be a special event. A bold event. Please support it. (Donations towards the projects will also be gratefully accepted) Get together a group to attend Melbourne Concert Hall Wednesday March 21st, 8pm.
