Wellesley’s “A Cappella Defeating Cancer” concert set for Nov. 16

November 2, 2018 by Bob Brown 1 Comment

 Love music, but HATE cancer?

Join us on Friday, November 16 in Wellesley for an evening of a cappella singing at a benefit concert for The Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project.

 

What?   A Cappella Defeating Cancer (ACDC-2)
               The 2nd Annual a cappella benefit concert to raise awareness and money for the Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project (http://wcpponline.org/)
When?   Friday, November 16, 2018  (7 to 9 PM, including an intermission)
Where?  Wellesley Village Church (United Church of Christ, Congregational)
                 2 Central St, Wellesley, MA 02482
     
Who is performing?

The ACDC-2 concert will feature three of Boston’s coolest a cappella groups:

 

BroadBand
BroadBand is a Boston-area group comprising 15 women dedicated to creating a beautiful harmonic blend.  They choose arrangements that are snazzy, and melodic, unique.
     
Similar Jones
Similar Jones is a high-energy vocal band, primarily rock and soul and influenced by elements of blues, funk, and jazz. 
The Works
Since 1994, The Works have performed for audiences ranging from a 3,000-person conference at Disney World to intimate private parties, schools, fundraisers, festivals and corporate functions.  A mixed octet (comprising 4 women and 4 men) that delivers a combo of eclectic repertoire and witty repartee.

The Cause?      
The Wellesley Cancer Prevention Project is a 501(3) nonprofit focused on raising awareness for MetroWest residents on how lifestyle, diet and the environment contribute
to the incidence of cancer and other health risks. Celebrating its 21th anniversary in 2018, the WCPP conducts public events & educational programs all year long (including yoga sessions, informational lectures, movie screenings, and the November concert).
