Bel Canto just made monetary contributions to Highlands School, Highlands Community Child Development Center and the Gordon Center – all from the proceeds of last year’s Bel Canto and the generosity of our patrons.
And of course, we’re turning our attention to the 32nd Annual Bel Canto Recital, which will be held at 4:00 P.M. Sunday, September 8, at Highlands Performing Arts Center. This series has always included not only opera, but Broadway favorites as well as a few surprises.
This year’s concert will continue in that tradition. The concert will be followed by a sumptuous dinner at Highlands Country Club, giving our audience a chance to meet and talk with our performers.
The performance will feature a quartet of internationally recognized singers — Soprano: Toni Marie Palmertree; Mezzo Soprano: Anna Kelly; Tenor: Derrek Stark; and Baritone: Daniel Belcher.
We’ll tell you more about these dynamic performers and our plans for this 32nd incarnation of Bel Canto in next month’s issue, but we wanted to highlight the very tangible ways in which our patrons have enriched the lives of the Plateau’s children.
