On Friday, August 3, at 8:00 p.m. there is going to be an event that everyone would not want to miss. Anyone supporting or sympathetic to Mission Haiti will certainly want to attend.

Fr. Tom’s childhood friend who moved on to become a Hollywood music composer, Chris Lennertz, organized an incredible group of top musical talent in Hollywood to come together to produce the Symphony of Hope, a musical masterpiece dedicated to helping Fr. Tom in Haiti. Here is a description of the symphony:

When 25 of today’s most accomplished Hollywood composers banded together to benefit the victims of 2010’s Haitian earthquake and Hands Together, they created Symphony of Hope, an unique masterpiece that begins with a Haitian melody and culminates in an original opus brilliantly performed by a 70-member orchestra and 40-member choir. Fresh out of the studio, the musical fundraising project premieres live on the Grand Performances’ stage in its entirety.

On August 3, attendees can experience the premiere performance of this symphony and the fruit of Hollywood’s top talent reaching out to help the poor of Haiti. The performance is at 8:00pm. It is free and will be held downtown at Grand Performances, 350 S Grand Avenue, Los Angeles.

Before the performance, there will be a fundraiser dinner and silent auction to benefit Fr. Tom. Anyone interested in this dinner should call Karl Holtsnider at (626) 403-6139.

Please join this once in a lifetime event. Out of the over 200 talented participants, composers include Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line), John Debney (Passion of the Christ), and Dave Grusin (The Fabulous Baker Boys). Featured soloists are Lizbeth Scott (Passion of the Christ) and Carmen Twillie (The Lion King). Other artists include Grammy Award Winner Arturo Sandoval and Emmy Award Winner Beau Bridges. Revel in the performance and see how Fr. Tom and his dedication inspired these musicians to give so generously.
