In 2015, the concerts will feature the Triad Vocal Ensemble choir, the Dan Crisci Jazz Trio, the Hunterdon Harmonizers (men’s barbershop chorus) and Broadway-style singers Kristen Egan and Nina Elias, performing both sacred and secular music. Additionally, panels from the AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display at each concert and a reception follows each performance.
To raise funds and raise awareness – all ticket proceeds will benefit the following charities which are concerned with the quality of life for persons with AIDS and the remembrance of lives lost: the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children, in Newark; the NAMES Project of Northern NJ, which supports the AIDS Memorial Quilt; and New Jersey AIDS Services (formerly The Eric Johnson House), which provides housing and services for those with AIDS and education to the community at large.
