PCS’s ‘Pamasko’ concert

PCS’s ‘Pamasko’ concert

The Kalayaan Cultural Community Centre will be one of two recipients of the proceeds from a back to back Christmas concert of the Philippine Choral Society entitled “Pamasko”. The “gift” will go to KCCC’s mortgage reduction fund. The other beneficiary is 5-year old Katarina Mangrobang who is suffering from a kind of cancer.

The first presentation will be on Saturday, December 6, 2008 at the First United Church on 151 Lakeshore Boulevard West, Mississauga. The second presentation is on Saturday, December 13, 2008 at the grand hall of the Kalayaan Cultural Community Centre on 5225 Orbitor Drive, Suite 3, also in Mississauga. Both will start at 8:00 o’clock in the evening.

The concert at the Kalayaan Cultural Community Centre will be followed by a reception and dancing. Tickets for both presentations are $25 each. Tickets for the December 6 event may be obtained from Jack and Carmen Silang at 905 -844-9822. For the December 13 presentation, please call Perry or Joy at the KCCC telephone # 905-602-0923 or e-mail kccc@bellnet.ca.

The Philippine Choral Society of Mississauga has been singing for charity in the last twenty-three years and has participated in many community events. Under the baton of Mrs. Imelda Espiritu-Papa, the group has sang for the sick, the church, organizations, scholarships and other worthy causes in Canada and the United States. It is a versatile group composed mostly of husbands and wives and their children. It has participated in local and international festivals and has won prizes for the group. It is affiliated with the Mississauga Arts Council and the Mississauga Recreation and Parks Department.

This time the group will entertain the audience with their favourite and nostalgic Philippine as well as universal Christmas carols to help two worthy causes: our very own Filipino community centre west of the Greater Toronto area and a sick five-year old beautiful child of God. The public is requested to share a small part of their Christmas shopping money to either or both of these beneficiaries.
