FOR | FROM CROATIA WITH LOVE
Croatian Jazz Gala at the Lincoln Center

The Aliis Inserviendo Consumor Foundation is launching a fundraising
concert series “For | From Croatia With Love” which promotes Croatian
culture, art and heritage in the United States . All proceeds will be
used to aid the rebuilding of a Community center for adults with
autistic disorder in Croatia . Currently 8,000 people have been
diagnosed with autism in Croatia and the number of actual cases is
estimated to be much higher.

The first concert of the series will be a Jazz Gala held at the Allen
Room at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City , located on 60th
Street and Broadway on Saturday May 23, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. Performances
start at 7:30 p.m. followed by a cocktail reception.

The gala will feature an exclusive performance of “One Day In
Dubrovnik” written by the late John Lewis of Modern Jazz Quartet fame
and will performed by Davor Kajfes and the Bosko Petrovic Trio. There
are guest appearances by world renowned American jazz musicians Lenny
White, Buster Williams, George Calligan and the Biava string quartet.
The night will continue with performances by internationally
recognized Croatian musicians: Matija Dedic, Elvis Stanic, Kruno
Spisic and Thana Pavelic.

The Aliis Inserviendo Consumor Foundation supports healthcare,
education and social service programs around the world, particularly
in those countries with limited institutional and financial resources.
The foundation is from Latin and means “consumed in the service of
others”. For additional information, visit http://www.afoundation.org.
