An entrepreneur in  his own right, Ron Duquette, has taken the initiative to put together  an amazing concert of outstanding local performers from all around Mississauga.   

His message is below and I hope you will enjoy it!                                          Stephen

Hi Folks,

I hope you are all safe and sound and COVID-19 free in your homes, practising all the things we’ve been

told to do by our leaders across the country.

I’ve been working on a special project to stave off boredom during the COVID-19 pandemic lock down.

Recently, great talents from around the world and across Canada have performed to thank health care

workers and people in food supply, along with our essential service heroes, in this unprecedented time.

After watching Andrea Bocelli deliver his magnificent live performance in the Duomo in Milan on Easter Sunday

I got to thinking….why not here in Mississauga. That was my inspiration and “AHA” moment.

Teaming up with my colleagues at the Mississauga Arts Council, the result is “Rise Up Mississauga” – Concert of Hope, a 40-minute virtual concert featuring some of Mississauga’s finest home grown musicians, along with our local politicians, all coming together with a message of solidarity. Two of the artists wrote original songs for this production.

If you aren’t doing anything on Friday, May 8th at 7:00p.m. (EST) I hope you can tune in and enjoy the show.

Stay safe everyone.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES.

Ron
