ORANGE : Chapman Concert to Aid Bosnian Women
Chapman University is sponsoring a benefit concert April 10, with proceeds going to the Bosnian Women’s Organization.
Located in Zagreb, Croatia, the Bosnian Women’s Organization provides psychological services, elderly care, vocational therapy, medical assistance, clothing and shelter to traumatized, raped and wounded war victims.
Sponsored by the university’s Albert Schweitzer Institute, the concert begins at 8 p.m. at the Chapman Chapel at the corner of West Maple Avenue and South Grand Street in Orange.
“The daily news of violence perpetrated on civilians, especially women and children, is shocking and should call people to assist,” said Dr. Kurt Bergel, co-director of the Schweitzer Institute and organizer of the benefit concert.
The Chapman Chamber Players, the university’s resident chamber ensemble, will perform classical pieces from Beethoven and Mozart and other composers.
Tickets for the concert are $25. People wishing to become sponsors of the event can do so by contributing $100, $250, $500 or more. Sponsors will be listed in the event program and will receive free tickets.
