Welcome to the Benefit Gala of Artists Alliance for Africa, a non-profit Organisation working with some of the most disadvantaged youth in the world to help them discover the Arts. 

This special evening we will be bringing a wide array of Artists from all different backgrounds of the Montreal Arts scene. On this night, dancers such as Raphael Bouchard, Celestin Boutin, Rachele Buriassi and Yui Sugawara will perform alongside the brilliant Opera singers, Spencer Britten and Vanessa Croome from l'Atelier Lyrique, while trapeze artist Hugo Duquette flies in the air and Vías, led by Diana León, will offer us their artistry. Also we will have the wonderful Contemporary Dancers Ben Mitchell and Jeremy Coachman perform a creation from Ermanno Sbezzo and bringing the youth will be up and coming choreographer Adrian Batt creating for the students of ESBQ. 

We intend to keep some surprises in store for you, but to give you a sneak peak, the After-Party will consist of a premiere public viewing of a documentary made for the Organisation in 2018 and a Charity Auction with great gifts on offer! 

All in all we aim to provide you with a diverse, rich, and fun evening of Art from all the different forms. This represents the grand choice of Performing Arts that the children have as options to choose from when our Organisation works with them. 

For us, Art should be universally available and we want to help provide access to the children around the world who have the least amount of access to this beautiful industry. Art can be a channel for one to express their creativity; it can be an escape from poverty, and we are working hard to make it so!

So come on down to the Rialto and join us for what will be a grand evening to celebrate the Arts in all its diversity which is growing day by day!
