During the holidays, we reflect on loved ones who have touched our lives and hearts. In 2003, Christine Wilson and four of her friends perished in a tragic arson near the campus of The Ohio State University. To honor her precious life, the 11th Annual Christine’s Christmas will be presented. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014 at the Capital Theatre, Vern Riffe Center in downtown Columbus. Proceeds from the event benefit the Burn Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
The concert features pianist Mark King who, inspired by his friend Christine, performs Christine’s Christmas. He is joined on stage by special guests including vocalist Willie Grove, the Dublin Jerome High School A Cappella Choir, the CMC Conservatory Chamber Orchestra and the event emcee is ABC 6/Fox 28 anchor Yolanda Harris. The performance focuses on the true meaning of the season with traditional Christmas carols coupled with elaborate jazz and solo performances.
Guests will enter the Capital Theatre lobby to find a wonderland of fabulous silent auction items and hors d’oeuvres from Milo’s Catering. After the concert, guests will experience an elaborate dessert buffet in the theatre lobby overlooking the view of the Capitol building.
The event is presented by Macy’s and underwritten by numerous committed sponsors including Tiffany’s, Dr. William E. Shiels II, Dublin Cleaners, Eastway Supplies and Old Trail Printing.
General public tickets are $75 for adults and $25 for students/children. To make reservations, please visit www.ChristinesChristmas.org.
