Fund-Raising & Telethon 1997
or the first time in the Chinese Canadian community, the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto presents a "Circus Concert", an original and stimulating fusion of circus, mime, dance, cabaret, music and variety performance.
Le Cirque du Tonnerre, "the circus of thunder", is a group of artists in Montreal brought together by Rodrigue Tremblay and Nicolette Hazewinkel to perform for corporate functions. Their artists also perform with the world famous Le Cirque du Soleil which only plays in theatres.
First and foremost, animals are NOT used in the acts. The Montreal tradition of Le Cirque is unique in utilizing the universal language of music, drama, dance, and circus techniques to enchant, frighten and delight. It is a commitment to innovation, a triumphant celebration of the human spirit and body.
Accompanied by a 5-piece orchestra, the Concert en Cirque will feature a spectacular 70-minute show with breath-taking aerial performances such as trapeze, tightwire, strap-flying man; hilarious comic numbers like drum contortion, and fascinating juggling acts.
The grand finale of the evening will be a performance by Miss Amy Mo, a premier singer from China who enjoys a great reputation in both China and Hong Kong. This is her first appearance in Toronto and she will certainly bring great pleasure and enjoyment to the audience.
The gala dinner, the telethon, the "Concert en Cirque", the special performancy by Amy Mo will be aired by Fairchild Television Ltd. It will be available free of charge in the Greater Toronto area through Rogers, and Shaw cable companies on April 27 at 8:30 pm.
Proceeds will go to the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto Foundation.
