The Portland Symphony Orchestra is partnering with Maine-based Kombit Sante Cap-Haitien Health Partnership to raise funds for disaster relief in Haiti.

They will open the Sunday, January 24 10:00 a.m. dress rehearsal to the public and donations will be collected at the door.

Donations will also be collected at the 2:30 p.m. concert. Donations will benefit Konbit Sante’s Earthquake Response Fund.

Konbit Sante is a Maine-based non-profit that has a partnership with the Haitian Ministry of Health to build capacity of the public health system in northern Haiti. For nine years, Konbit Sante staff and volunteers have been working with their Haitian colleagues on this mission. More information about Konbit Sante will be available in the lobby of Merrill Auditorium or at www.healthyhaiti.org.

Hope to see you there,
