The Sudbury Community Foundation will be helping to spread the love of music when they host their first ever jazz cabaret evening called Slag Heap Love featuring three of Sudbury's most sought after vocalists. 
Cabaret 2009 will take place Thursday, March 5th at the Idylwylde Golf and Country Club with cash bar starting at 6:00, followed by a delicious tapas dinner before the performance.
On their own, these powerhouse singers -Sarah Craig, Patricia Cano and Pandora Topp-are three of  Sudbury's most beloved and soulful artists, making their collaboration a special treat for the lucky few who will be able to get tickets to this premiere performance.
Cabaret 2009, is part of the Sudbury Community Foundation's new Jazz Sudbury initiative, a series of jazz events, signalling a commitment to fostering the arts in Sudbury. Cabaret 2009 will raise money to assist the foundation to build its new Performing Arts Fund and to continue providing its services to the community.
"Our 2008 Vital Signs report indicated that Sudbury is lagging behind other cities in its commitment to the performing arts," said Carmen Simmons, executive director of the Sudbury Community Foundation, in a release.
"Jazz Sudbury, and our kick-off event Cabaret 2009, is a natural way for us to advance Sudbury's talented artistic community and raise much needed money."
Tickets are $90 and can be purchased at Records on Wheels, Grand Ciel Librarie and the Sudbury Community Foundation office at 673-7770.
