Cabaret for hurricane relief set for Oct. 28 "Songs from the Heart - Songs of Hope," a cabaret for hurricane relief, will be at 6 p.m. Oct. 28 in the Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. "Songs from the Heart - Songs of Hope" features UNL faculty member Tammy Meneghini, with James Neal Koudelka as musical director and accompanist. This cabaret will include music and stories that connect us to the people and places that so many call home. This program is dedicated to the continued efforts of the American Red Cross and the Southern Arts Federation Emergency Relief Fund to assist art organizations and artists residing the Gulf Coast communities most devastated by Hurricane Katrina. This cabaret is presented as a unique co-sponsorship among the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, and the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts. Created by Meneghini and Koudelka, "Songs of the Heart - Songs of Hope" is an offering of both new arrangements created especially for this cabaret, as well as songs which the duo have performed throughout the Midwest. There will be no charge for the performance although donations will be accepted at the door. For more information, call Meneghini at 472-1608.
