A concert at Central United Church on Wednesday, April 13, will raise funds for the Downtown Music Initiative.

Founded by UWindsor music grad Melissa Miner (BMus 2007), the program provides free music lessons to disadvantaged children in Windsor. Performances by its students will open the concert, followed by the Windsor Symphony Orchestra Strings under the direction of assistant conductor Peter Wiebe.

UWindsor alumna Erin Armstrong (BMus 2007), a soprano, will sing excerpts from Cosi fan tutte, La bohème, and West Side Story.

The show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and may be reserved by calling 519-890-8851. Central United Church is located at 628 Ouellette Avenue.
