World Malaria Day Concert
As a celebration please join the Northern Illinois Conference for a concert on April 27 from 3-4:30 pm at Barrington UMC to sing, dance and listen to music to mark World Malaria Day and our fundraising success. Headlining our concert will be Bassel & the Supernaturals (http://basselmusic.com) a Chicago based jazz-fusion ensemble led by Syrian-American singer-songwriter and guitarist Bassel Al-Madani.
“Bassel Al-Madani doesn’t want audiences to just have a good time getting down at shows. He wants fans to leave Bassel & the Supernaturals shows with a sense of connection and, perhaps, new political awareness. The 25-year-old bandleader of the contemplative indie-funk ensemble is first-generation Syrian-American and has been using the band’s shows and releases to benefit humanitarian efforts in war-torn Syria.” – Jessica Hopper (Chicago Tribune)
Tickets to the show are $10 (in advance or at the door) and we will announce the total money raised by the conference to date at the event.
Barrington United Methodist Church is located at 98 Algonquin Road in Barrington. (scroll below or click here for flier)
