An Affair to Remember: La Dolce Vita!
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
 
Be transported to Italy!
 
Famous for its wonderful food and wine, its luxurious sports cars, its famous artists, its sophisticated fashion, its poetry and music, and its beautiful and memorable cities, make Italy your destination this April!
 
Siphiwe McKenzie Edelmann
 
The excitement of the evening will include an exclusive performance by international soprano Siphiwe McKenzie Edelmann.
 
Originally from Vancouver and currently living in Vienna, Siphiwe is in high demand as a guest artist with prestigious orchestras such as the Vienna Volksoper Symphony, the Nurnberg Symphonic Orchestra, the L'arte de Mondo Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony and the Vancouver Symphony.
 
Siphiwe agreed to this special appearance because Parkinson's is a cause near and dear to her. Her magnificent voice will thrill the audience with a mix of arias from famous Italian operas and popular songs that will make you want to sing along! Siphiwe will be accompanied by Rena Sharon on piano.
 
The ballroom will be transformed to reflect the charm and sophistication of Italy, and there will be a live and silent auction featuring a spectacular array of items. Ciao!!
