Hello everyone, I have some exciting news to share with all of you. I have had a dream for several years now to do a concert tour of North America that would raise not only money for animal welfare, but also awareness for the need to support low cost spay/neuter clinics and shelter animal adoptions. I finally have this opportunity and my management company, RA ENTERTAINMENT, has begun plans for the first event.

I am fortunate to have found two other vegan musicians and strong animal welfare supporters who will be performing this benefit concert with me as part of our new trio called Trio Angelica.

Our trio is composed of Liona Boyd, also known as The First Lady of Guitar is one of the world's most famous and brilliant classical guitarists. She has performed in over 30 countries, and has recorded over 20 albums, many of which have gone gold. Bettine Clemen , Bavarian born and classically trained in Munich, Germany tours with a minimum of seven flutes all over the world. Her concerts are noted for the variety of music that she performs ranging from popular, and jazz, to her own outstanding compositions and the classics. And of course the third member will be me playing the piano.

The first animal welfare fundraiser event will be a benefit for NEW JERSEY ANIMAL RIGHTS ASSOC., (NJARA) on Saturday December 16, at 7:30 PM at Stockton College. The college is located near Atlantic City, NJ, so many states are within driving distance. If you are located in New Jersey, or close by, you can purchase tickets by calling the Box Office at 609 652 9000. Tickets are $ 25 Orchestra, $ 20 Mezzanine, and children's tickets are $ 5 ( when accompanied by an adult.) This will be a wonderful outreach concert for all animal lovers and their friends to attend.

We will also be planning similar animal welfare fundraisers in other major cities during the course of the next year. Below is the tentative schedule, but we hope to add more dates to this by January. If you are located in any of these cities, or know people that are WHO would like to be involved in the preparations of these events, please let us know. We will need many volunteers to help us coordinate these events and maximize the funds available for our animal welfare programs. There will be tabling at these events that will focus on adoption programs, spay/neuter programs, greyhound adoptions and puppy mills. We can effectively reach the most people with these neutral but so important messages. April: Toronto, Canada July: Atlanta: GA August: Chicago, ILL September: Los Angeles, & San Francisco, CA October: Boston, MA & New York, NY November: Dallas, TX December: Las Vegas, NV, & Palm Beach , Florida Thanks so much and please let me hear from you soon with your thoughts . We hope you will spread the word. Yours Truly, Linda Gentille
