Do you want to support research on a rare, deadly cancer variant and support cancer patients with a passion for music?

So you want to witness a passionate Christmas show by one of the royal families of folk music in return?

The yearly McGarrigle/Wainwright Christmas show has tickets on sale now!

All proceeds from the show goes to the Kate McGarrigle fund, which donates to research of Saracoma cancer, the same type which eventually killed Kate herself, and create therapy programs for cancer patients with a passion for music.

This year, due to COVID-19, the concert will be live-streamed from three different locations: Montreal - where Martha Wainwright will be hosting, Los Angeles - where her brother Rufus Wainwright is the host, and New York - where their half-sister Lucy Wainwright Roche will lead the show.

Advance tickets are between $20 and $250. From $75 and up, they include access to a video chat with the hosts afterwards. A day of ticket is $25. Donate to a great cause and get a wonderful experience in return!
