=20
CLEVELAND - Broadway diva Linda Eder will join forces with The =
Cleveland Jazz Orchestra and the nearly 100 voice North Coast Men's =
Chorus in a holiday concert to benefit Transitional Housing, Inc. at =
Severance Hall at 8:00 PM on December 7. All proceeds from the event =
will go directly to supporting the programs of Transitional Housing, =
Inc. Tickets range in price from $20 to $150 and go on sale exclusively =
through the Severance Hall Box Office (216-231-1111 or 800-686-1141) =
beginning September 7.
=20
Ms. Eder has been touring in concert with some of the most prestigious =
symphony orchestras and conductors in North America. She has sold out =
Carnegie Hall three times, prompting nationally syndicated columnist Liz =
Smith to enthuse, "I think the word diva, as in divine, is called for. =
What a powerhouse of a voice, what stunning musicality and phrasing, =
what a great mysterious sense of warmth, what a wonderful way to spend =
an evening." =20
=20
Transitional Housing's Board President, Robert Rensel sees this event =
as, "the most significant step we've ever taken in terms of fundraising. =
As government funding for programs such as ours continues to diminish, =
it's become critical that we expand out into the community for =
meaningful support. This concert with Linda Eder provides us with a =
wonderful opportunity to do just that."=20
=20
"We are all so honored and excited to be a part of this incredible =
event," said Rich Cole, Music Director of the North Coast Men's Chorus. =
"It's a thrill on so many levels. It will be our first appearance on =
the stage of Severance Hall, our first opportunity to sing with Ms. =
Eder, a star we all admire so much, and we're especially pleased to be =
able to play a part in raising money for such an effective =
organization." =20
=20
The critically acclaimed Cleveland Jazz Orchestra's Executive Director, =
Bob Keesecker, echoes the same sentiments adding, "We are really looking =
forward to this gig!"
=20
Transitional Housing, Inc. (THI) was founded in 1986 in response to a =
serious shortage of safe, decent and affordable housing for women who =
have become homeless for a variety of reasons including economic crisis, =
domestic violence, and substance abuse. The need continues to this day. =
As many as 64 women reside at THI for up to two years. THI provides =
the education services and support essential to achieving personal and =
financial independence. All residents participate in a personal =
development program that includes both on-site classes and connects them =
with community services, employment training, and educational =
opportunities. After a resident transitions to independent living, THI =
continues to provide follow-up services. Since 1986, nearly 1,200 women =
have transformed their lives through THI's unique program.
=20
"The funds raised at this event will enable us to continue to help women =
help themselves," said THI Executive Director, Sr. Donna Hawk. "By =
providing a safe and supportive environment, Transitional Housing =
affords women the time to assess what they are good at, and what they =
want to do to support themselves. =20
=20
"Right now we have several women who have become licensed nurse's =
assistants and are moving toward nursing careers, one who is interning =
at Lewis NASA, and several are working in the food service industry. =
All of them are on the road to permanent jobs with benefits and stable =
housing. The good effect on society is measurable as they move from =
dependency to independence. The success and relationships built here at =
THI have life-long results."=20
=20
A limited number of Corporate and Individual sponsorship opportunities =
for this event are still available. Please contact THI Development =
Director, Lyn Cooper Tomaszewski for details.
