Concert for a cause

The sounds of classical music sweetened the ears of those who gathered at Prince Cave Hall, District “A” Police station for an evening of entertainment on Sunday.

Members of the Barbados Orchestra and Ensemble produced an excellent show organized by the Lions Club of Christ Church West.

President of the Club Angelique Estwick told Barbados TODAY that the money raised from the fundraising concert would assist pediatric cancer patients.

“As you know, as Lions, our motto is We Serve and we are finding that we are having a lot of pediatric cancer these days. This effort this evening is to raise funds to assist those who have pediatric cancer and their families,” Estwick said.

Also contributing to the evening’s performances was the Arch Hall Folk group,and nine-year-old singer Zarena Gaskin. (anestahenry@barbadostoday.bb)

  • I said that I was probably going to be the only person who would comment on this concert and so far it seems that I am right.

    The majority of Bajans ( mainly black bajans ) don't have a liking for good music ( including classical music ).

    They ( the black bajans ) these days are very much into garbage, thug , Jamaican dance hall music . In fact black bajans are now even trying to speak like Jamaicans.

    Just look at the amount of hundreds of dollars black bajans paid for tickets to the banton buju concert. Then they complain that they can't buy food , pay bus fare to go to work or pay the utility bills . . .including the phone bill for the most expensive cell phone in buhbados.

    From what I understand your performance was very CLASSY and EXCELLENT , so congrats and keep up the good work

  • Wow ! ! Now that's what I call "class" , awesome ! ! !

    You aren't going to see too many bajans making comments about a "classy" event like this.

    Great work to all.

    In fact I might be the only person to comment on this.
