Filipino singer to star in charity concert
View(s):‘One Night Only’ may be an euphemism for the astoundingly mind-blowing amount you will spend on a ticket for the show, but rest assured it’s well worth it. Organised by The Charity Committee in aid of the Maharagama Cancer Hospital, the show will happen on March 22 at the Hilton Colombo Residences.
The Charity Committee was founded in early 2003 to raise funds primarily for children afflicted with cancer. The group consists of five members who have dedicated their time for the cause. They’ve done many such fundraisers for charity including musical concerts, dinner theatre by overseas artists, a comedy night with renowned comedian Russell Peters and a huge range of homegrown talent have graced the stage on behalf of them.
This concert will star Menaka de Fonseka Sahabandu along with Philippine star Shana Dagny. Shana Dagny is an interesting medley of Filipino, Chinese-Indian descent-her multicultural roots and the fact that her parents owned an arts-centric school developed her love for all things aesthetic. Currently based in Chicago, USA, she works with the US Department of State and balances her time between performing and nursing. The duo will be accompanied by Soundarie David Rodrigo on piano.
‘One Night Only’ will be on Friday, March 22 at the Hilton Colombo Residences Ballroom from 7.30 p.m. onwards. Tickets for the event are priced at Rs. 10,000, inclusive of dinner.
