The Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Embassy of Spain and the Immaculate Conception High School Symphony Orchestra (ICHS SO) under the distinguished patronage of The Most Rev. Charles H. Dufour, D.D, C.D., Archbishop of Kingston and Her Excellency Celsa Nuño, Spanish Ambassador to Jamaica, will present "Expressions of Love 2" A Family Concert and Silent Auction, at 4:00pm on Sunday, February 24 at the Holy Trinity Cathedral.

The concert will feature Spanish concert pianist David Gómez as well as the ICHS SO, the ICHS Glee Club and the Kingston College Chapel Choir. All Proceeds from the event will go to the ongoing restoration of the 102 year old Holy Trinity Cathedral and the ICHS SO music programme.

David Gómez, who gave his first concert at age 14, boasts a long international artistic career which includes performances at New York's prestigious Carnegie Hall.

The ICHS SO is one of the largest school instrumental ensembles in Jamaica with over 80 members from all grades, under the direction of Steven Woodham.

Ambassador Nuño's patronage of the concert comes as result of her conviction that cultural performances can be used as a tool to support worthy causes. This concert blends these objectives together perfectly combining a National Heritage site and education.

Spain's role in the restoration of the Holy Trinity Cathedral's murals, whose beauty was once again revealed thanks to the technical expertise of  Professor Antonio Sanchez-Barriga, is continued through efforts at fundraising for the completion of the restoration work. As a result of efforts by many persons and institutions the Cathedral is becoming a premier site for extraordinary musical performances and a centrepiece of the revitalization of Downtown Kingston.

The event promises to be an extraordinary display of artistic talent and great entertainment for all. Tickets cost $2000 and are available at Liguanea Drug & Garden Centre, the Music Mart, Manor Park Pharmacy, and New Kingston Pharmacy.
