Charlotte, NC – AFRICAN CHILDREN’S CHOIR will play at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center’s Knight Theater Mar. 15 - 16, 2010. The choir is made up of children ages 7 to 12 from several African nations.

Since its inception, the choir has included children from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana. Many of the children have lost one or both parents to AIDS and other poverty-related diseases, and all of them are victims of extreme poverty.

The choir serves as the main fund raising branch for its parent organization, Music For Life Institute, with proceeds from the choir’s work used to fund education and relief efforts for African children affected by poverty and disease. More than 7000 children in several African nations are currently being supported through the program.

The choir has recorded songs for the soundtracks of major motion pictures including Oprah Winfrey’s Beloved, Hotel Rwanda and Blood Diamond.
