Celebrate Solidarity with a BTS Evening of Song

Maritime voices launch holiday CD in Halifax, 'Breaking the Silence' about Guatemala

Tuesday November 29 2011 (All day)

"I will forever be touched by the courage, strength, and hope that these people showed in circumstances that I suspect would overcome most of us if our places were exchanged. They have been on a long journey searching for a little justice and they deserve our help."
--Lennie Gallant, PEI singer-songwriter, and contributor to "Singing Solidarity," a CD to be launched in Halifax November 29

The Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence (BTS) Network will launch "Singing Solidarity," a fundraiser CD, with an evening of live music, solidarity and awareness building in Halifax on Tuesday, November 29, 6:30-9pm.
