Hospice Angelus "Voices for Hospice" Concert

Angelus Moldova, a non-political and non-governmental charity organisation, is the country’s leading provider of care to patients who are in the advanced and final stages of terminal diseases. Since 2002, we have treated over 1000 patients with life-threatening diseases and prognoses of less than 12 months. Every year 8000 people are diagnosed with cancer in Moldova, and every year 6000 people lose their battle with this most tragic of diseases. We are staging this FREE event to ensure that more people know about the work of Angelus Moldova and to raise the awareness of the global ‘hospice movement’.

Performers will include:

Geta Burlacu - A celebrated jazz singer, Geta represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "A Century Of Love". Studying as a violinist at music college and further as a jazz singer, she has performed solo and with bands such as Univox, Acid Grape and Right Hoens.
