Town Soprano Sings for a Cure

For the second consecutive year, Westborough resident and soprano Karen Amlaw will join a cast of musicians in Music to Cure MS. The production will be held on Sunday, Oct. 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Park Avenue Congregational Church in Arlington. The show is a benefit concert of opera, songs and chamber music to support the Accesslerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis.

“Music to Cure MS is the brain child of Marion Leeds Carroll, a former opera singer and stage director who was diagnosed with MS in 1988,” read a statement. “Carroll heard about the Accelerated Cure Project in 2002 and decided to use her own skill set to bring opportunities to her own world: classical music.”

Tickets for this benefit concert can be purchased in advance for $20 or at the door for $25 ($10 for MSers, students, MIT staff and senior citizens). A raffle will be held at intermission and refreshments will be sold.
