On Saturday, October 3 at 7:00pm, Milton Community Concerts will present the thirteenth annual “Sing For Their Supper” free benefit concert in the historic Meetinghouse at First Parish of Milton-UU, 535 Canton Avenue. This event will feature ten opera singers from around New England in a popular program of opera and musical theater favorites to support the Milton Food Pantry and Milton Residents Fund.
This year’s concert features a completely new lineup of singers: sopranos Sohyun Cho, Yelena Doduchkin, Mary Johnston Letellier, Ziruo Li, Kira Lim, and March Steiger, mezzo-sopranos Felicia Gavilanes and Arielle Rogers-Wilkey, countertenor Lucas Ludwig Coura, and baritone Mitch Fitzdaniel. They will be assisted by pianist Timothy Steele.
The singers for this concert have not only come to Boston from various parts of the US, but from around the world, including South Korea, China, Singapore, and Russia. They have appeared with many local performing organizations, including the Boston Symphony, Boston Lyric Opera, Castle of Our Skins, White Snake Projects, and Odyssey Opera. They have performed all over the world, from Carnegie Hall to Budapest and Vienna. They have won awards in international vocal competitions, and one was recently a featured soloist with tenor Placido Domingo in an orchestral concert in Europe.
This is a free concert (no tickets needed), with all net proceeds collected from a free-will offering to benefit the Milton Food Pantry and Milton Residents Fund. All performers are donating their time and talents to support these two charities.
Arrive early for best seating. There is ample free parking available, and the venue is accessible. For more information visit miltoncommunityconcerts.com.
