New Haven Happenings

NEW HAVEN — The Tony Blair Faith Foundation will play host to a Malaria Relief Concert at 8 p.m. Dec. 13 at Yale’s Woolsey Hall.
Performers include members of the Yale Alumni Chorus, St. Luke’s School’s a cappella groups, Take 9 and the Acafellas and Yale’s a cappella groups, Mixed Company and Proof of the Pudding. More than 500 million people contract malaria each year, and the concert aims to help prevent the spread of the disease.
Tickets are $10 per person, and each ticket is enough to protect a family from malaria through providing a bed net in endemic regions, organizers said. All proceeds go to malaria relief.
The concert is sponsored by the Graduate and Professional Student Senate and Yale Engineering. Tickets can be purchased online at www.yale.edu/music, or in person in the box office located in the lobby of Sprague Hall at 470 College St. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by phone at (203) 432-4158.
