On April 27 three Anglican churches – St. James in Fergus, St. John’s in Elora and St. George in Guelph – will jointly host a benefit concert with The Three Cantors.
Bill Cliff, David Picket and Peter Wahl, with Angus Sinclair at the keyboard, first came together in 1996 and have had a very busy concert schedule ever since.
Over the last 16 years, these musicians have combined two passions: bringing music to thousands and raising well over $1 million for the work of the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF).
This concert will raise funds for work in Cuba, where rural and urban families are instructed and supported in small scale, intensive and sustainable farming. After the near disastrous collapse of large scale, government-run plantations, the paradigm shift to locally produced food for local markets is proving highly successful.
“Enough and nutritious food for everyone is not a lofty dream; it is totally possible; and it takes all of us to bring it about,” said Doris M’Timkulu, PWRDF coordinator of in the Niagara area.
The Three Cantors will bring the joy of music and celebration of life to St. George Anglican Church (on Woolwich Street in Guelph) on April 27 at 7:30pm.
Whether it is beloved music of the church, spirituals, folk songs, or the best of Broadway, their singing appears to be a hit, from coast to coast and beyond.
“I know that everyone will leave the concert with a big smile,” said Dr. Barbara Clunes, chair of the planning committee, “And we hope to raise $5,000 for the wonderful work of PWRDF.”
