Darius de Haas, Kerry O’Malley, et al. Set for Elegies Benefit Concert

Darius de Haas, Michael Brian Dunn, Jason Forbach, AnnMarie Milazzo, and Kerry O’Malley will headline a benefit concert of William Finn’s Elegies: A Song Cycle at 8pm on Monday, August 16 at New York City’s LGBT Center. The concert will be directed by Michael Rader.

The show, which was produced Off-Broadway by Lincoln Center, is a tapestry of tributes to partners and friends, long-lost pets, and the victims of 9/11, all the while celebrating the lives of those who have passed on. The songs were composed in memory of Finn’s friends, several of whom died of AIDS, and the passing of his mother, Barbara Finn. The final segment of show explores the collapse of the World Trade Center and its emotional aftermath, not only to New Yorkers, but to the country as a whole.
