Grammy award winning jazz and soul star Roberta Flack will perform a benefit concert for the Victoria Bushfire victims with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
"I was devastated to hear of the desperate plight faced by so many people. I wanted to do something for those affected by these tragic fires and we approached the MSO with the idea,” she said in announcing the show.MSO Managing Director Trevor Green said, "This tragedy has touched everyone. The MSO has enjoyed a century of wonderful support from the Victorian community and now in this hour of need, we would like to play a small part in the healing process”.
“Roberta kicked off her Australian tour in Melbourne at the height of the heatwave and we are delighted to be performing with her again,” he added.
The show will be on Thursday February 19 at Hamer Hall.
All proceeds will go to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
