'In
From The Cold' concert to benefit youth shelter A fundraiser concert for the Youth Emergency Shelter is expected to break previous records, raising up to $6,000, according to a key sponsor of the event, Jeannine Taylor. Taylor owns Quid Novis Productions, an Internet production, marketing and consulting services company. She says the cause is easy to get behind. "In addition to this being a great concert and a huge effort by many, many talented volunteers, we like to sponsor this event because every penny goes to the Peterborough Youth Emergency Shelter," explains Taylor. "We (Quid Novis) decided to make homelessness our primary cause about five years ago," she says. The concert is known annually as 'In from the Cold,' and features an array of talent. This year's show features music by Carried Away, Enrique Roy Claveer and the Convivio Chorus. The concert will run on two nights at the Market Hall Theatre - Dec. 9 and 10 at 7:30 p.m. "We also volunteer to help find additional sponsors, but our part is small compared to the musicians and organizers who put in many hours with rehearsals and planning," notes Taylor. This is the first year that a second concert evening has been added, says Taylor, with 300 tickets available per evening. "There are virtually no tickets given away -- even the choir and performers buy tickets. So, we're hoping for around $6,000 in ticket sales," she says. Taylor notes the sponsorships are building each year, calling this gratifying to know the support is out there, she says. Last year the concert sold out two weeks in advance. |
