Concerts to focus on mental health issues

The Niagara Falls High School and Wilson High School choruses have combined to present two concerts featuring music dealing with mental health issues, with proceeds from basket auctions and 50/50 raffles to benefit the Mental Health Association of Niagara County.

The 7 p.m. concerts and fundraising will take place Monday, Nov. 7, at Niagara Falls High School, and Wednesday, Nov. 9, at Wilson High School. There is no cost to attend. Representatives from the Mental Health Association of Niagara will be at each concert, with information on how to obtain help needed.

A press release noted, “The concert is titled ‘You Are Enough,’ which is the title of a suite of songs detailing the feelings involved in dealing with issues such as depression, sorrow, anger, isolation, addiction and more. The concert will also feature songs from the musicals ‘Hamilton,’ ‘Next to Normal,’ ‘Rent’ and ‘Burlesque,’ as well as songs by artists such as Elton John, the Flaming Lips and Alessia Cara.”
