Disney Concert Honorees

The St. Mel Choir will join the Interfaith Choir performance at Disney Hall this Sunday June 7.  Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

During the Disney Concert, the Kindred Spirits Humanitarian Award will be granted to those who have dedicated their lives to humanitarianism.  This year's honorees are Ed Asner and the Grossman Burn Centers.

In addition to his professional versatility, Ed Asner has consistently served and committed himself to the rights of the working performer in addition to advocating for human rights, world peace, environmental preservation and political freedom. Asner can be heard as the voice of Carl Fredrickson in Pixar's animated film UP (which my teen-age daughter thoroughly enjoyed).  A definite departure from the usual Disney themes, Ed plays the role of a Senior citizen action hero.  (AP photo)
