Third Thursday Fundraiser at Nick's

Thursday, October 15

Nick's English Hut will host "3rd Thursday" on October 15 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. to benefit Voces Novae's lullabies-for-babies project. Enjoy dinner and a night out in the back room (children are allowed in the front end of the back room), and the back room serving staff will donate all their tips toVoces Novae for production costs. With help from Nick's diners and support from the Indiana Arts Commission, 1000 babies will receive free CDs of choral lullabies sung by Voces Novae and distributed through Bloomington Area Birth Services, Bloomington Hospital, Dunn Memorial Hospital, and Green County Hospital.

Voces Novae Lullaby CD

Voces Novae chamber choir of Bloomington, in collaboration with Bloomington Area Birth Services, has produced a recording of beautiful choral lullabies to give to 1000 babies born in our area this year. The music includes lullabies from Cape Breton, Israel, New Zealand, and Latvia, settings of texts by Robert Frost, Sara Teasdale, and Wendell Berry, and gorgeous choral music ranging from traditional tunes and music from the renaissance to contemporary American works. The production of the CDs, which will be accompanied by an article by a noted researcher on music and the developing brain, is partially underwritten by a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission. Bloomington Area Birth Services, Bloomington Hospital, Dunn Memorial Hospital, and Green County Hospital are all looking forward to offering the CDs to their baby-families.
