TSUNAMI BENEFIT CONCERT

5:30 P.M. Saturday, March 5, 2005

Hilbert Circle Theatre, Indianapolis

In the wake of the catastrophic tragedy resulting from the recent TSUNAMI that hit Southeast Asia, I wanted to explore the best way to express my feelings of sympathy and support as a member of the performing arts community of Indianapolis.

I discovered that the sentiment was not mine alone.� A special orchestra has been formed for this occasion, composed of those willing to donate their talent, spirit and service, conducted by me, Hidetaro Suzuki.� Joining us are Henry Leck and the Indianapolis Children�s Choir, and David Hochoy and Dance Kaleidoscope.� Without reservation, all have generously offered to join me in producing a benefit concert at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 5^th, 2005, at the Hilbert Circle Theatre.

There will be a modest admission fee of $15 for adults and $10 for children and students.� Your additional contribution at the event is encouraged.

We urge you to support this concert by joining us on March 5^th and being acknowledged as citizens who second our efforts, all united in expressing our sympathy and offering hope to the people who endured this tragedy.

Sincerely yours,

Hidetaro Suzuki
