Musicians and artists come together for many great causes and in Vancouver next week, they’ll be promoting and celebrating one simple thing: kindness. The 11th annual World Kindness Concert, happening November 4, 2011 at the Centre for Performing Arts will bring together over a dozen local and international acts as they promote this message.
From the organizers: “Why kindness? In a world where bullying, depression, suicide and violence has reached epidemic proportions, ‘Kindness’ is not just a nice idea or notion… it is critical to the well-being of our world.”
The line-up so far includes ABRA Cadabra, Bill Sample (Musical Director & Piano), Brian Newcombe (Bass), Brock Tully (MC &Founder), Dirty Radio, Jane Mortifee, Leora Cashe, Metropolis Glee Club, Michaela Slinger, Michael Vincent, Ranj Singh & The Descriminators, Robbie Steininger (Lead Guitar), Shari Ulrich, Shawn Soucy (Drums), Sibel Thrasher, and Veronica Iza.
Tickets are now on sale and proceeds support Kindness Rocks, a bullying prevention program for youth. You can follow the World Kindness Concert on Facebook and Twitter for more information.
