‘Give back to the community’: Concert performance at Metropolitan United Church to benefit Ark Aid

Kammerchor London is hosting its Messiah concert on Sunday to benefit Ark Aid Mission.

In the spirit of the season, Kammerchor London is hosting a concert to help those in need in our community.

“We’re doing a rehearsal for our Messiah performance which will be on Dec. 14 at 3 [p.m.] at Metropolitan United Church and it is actually a celebratory concert for us because we are having our tenth season this year, so we’ve never really done a big piece like this before,” explained Ariel Harwood-Jones, founder of Kammerchor London.

The music ensemble is inviting audience members to leave non-perishable items at the door prior to the concert.

Local charity Ark Aid Mission will collect and distribute the donations.

The group says it’s eager to share their music with the city - and all for a good cause.

“We’ve got such fantastic musicians and a great choir and especially this year we wanted to partner with Ark Aid,” said Stephane Potvin, Kammerchor conductor. “When I approached them, I said we’re very fortunate in what we’re doing, and we want to give back to the community.”
