The Unity Concert 2009: Rebuilding People’s Lives is a product of the great compassion, desire to help, generosity of our sponsors coupled with the community building capacity of various individuals and  community organizations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).  It is this outpouring of solidarity and the generous spirit of community response to the urgent task of helping rebuild the lives of those hard hit by Typhoons Ketsana and Parma in the Philippines that we are gathered here today.

The Unity Concert is a testament to the spontaneous response of various community organizations and concerned Filipino-Canadians who have joined hands in hosting a musical extravaganza. It is also a gift from the heart as the clarion call for volunteers was gladly answered by a special group of talented and professional  artists and performers who  are concerned about the millions of Filipinos who are suffering from the worst onslaught of natural and man-made calamities.

Unity Concert 2009: Rebuilding People’s Lives is a confirmation to the successful effort of various community organizations to gather groups willing to work together in a collaborative project that would directly benefit the typhoon victims of the Philippines.

At the stunning, new performing arts complex The Rose Theatre Brampton…

	The Magic Flute (W.A. Mozart)
	Mozart’s last opera, Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) has enchanted audiences of all ages for two centuries. This intruiging invention of a musical genius about Love, Forgiveness, Tolerance and the Brotherhood of Man intricately weaves lively elements of fantasy and free-flying imagination, with an equally complex multilevel story. But its easily accessible charm and glorious music continues to attract children and the most serious opera buffs alike. Brampton Lyric Opera, an exciting young Canadian company, presents a full production of The Magic Flute with chamber orchestra, at the stunning, new performing arts complex, The Rose Theatre Brampton. The opera will be sung in English; LILAC CANA sings the role of Pamina.
