More than 30 artists will raise their voices and instruments to play in honor of the victims of the Typhoon Haiyan disaster. The Anchorage Opera Chorus will perform inspiring, prayer-like anthems from the operas "Nabucco," "Moise" and "Lucia de Lamermoor," and vocalists will perform favorite arias and duets. Featured faculty performers include Mari Hahn, John Lutterman, Armin Abdihodzic, Lee Wilkins with special guest Marsha Ackerman, Michael Smith and George Yang.
