Local "celebrities" take the stage in newVoices fundraiser
Make sure your Valentine's Day plans include an evening out to see "Northeast Wisconsin's got newTALENT" which is a new twist on our annual fundraiser. This year, area "celebrities" will compete to see who can raise the most money for newVoices by taking their talent to the stage in a live performance.The audience will decide which celebrities bring the most to the stage! One act will win the People’s Choice by raising the most donations that evening. Another act will win the Critic’s Choice by raising the most donations prior to the event. Every act wins by performing live, on-stage: singing or playing an instrument to favorite selections from Broadway, the swing era, or a 50’s or jazz standard. And since it’s Valentine’s Day—we will feature love songs from the silly to the sublime. Presented in an intimate nightclub setting, the audience will also hear solos, small groups, and the full newVoices ensemble in live performance.OUR CELEBRITY PERFORMERS ARE:LEN NELSON, WAPL radio morning host who will thrill us with music from his accordion.
