For the seventh consecutive year, the Galilea 2000 association and the OFJ will present a gala benefit concert, in order to raise funds for the medical attention of those persons who suffer from illnesses, live in extreme poverty, and come from various cities and villages in our country seeking medical help at the Hospitales Civiles de Guadalajara, Instituto de Cancerología, and Hospital Regional de Occidente.
The repertoire for this concert will consist of well-known, landmark works such as the Moncayo Huapango, Agustín Lara´s Granada, and the Habanera from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, among others, and the orchestra will accompany soprano Bárbara Padilla and the Jalisco State Choir.
The fundraising goal of this concert is 400,000 pesos, all necessary for medications, analyses, treatments, surgical supplies, medical materials and transportation to and from the medical facilities for approximately 1,500 beneficiaries per month.
