The Ridgefield Chorale, conducted by director Daniela Sikora, performed its Holiday Concert Sunday, Dec. 8, to a standing-room-only audience in the sanctuary of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church.
The proceeds from the concert, and from other fund-raising by the chorale members — totaling more than $3,000 — was donated during the concert to a representative of the Connecticut Food Bank.
The Connecticut Food Bank serves more than 680 food pantries, soups kitchens and day-care programs throughout Connecticut. A $1 donation enables them to buy $10 worth of food. Therefore, the donation from Sunday’s concert will provide $30,000 worth of supplies for distribution around the state.
The chorale also collected a large amount of food and dry goods for the Food Bank from sites around Ridgefield.
The Ridgefield Chorale’s next concert, entitled Broadway!, will be performed on Saturday, May 10 in the auditorium of Ridgefield High School.
