The musical director of Coquitlam’s Gleneagle secondary is turning 50.
And Ed Trovato wants the community to come to his milestone party — with proceeds from his celebration to support his Cuba Project.
Trovato, who in 2011 won the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence, wants to bring three top Cuban student musicians from the Fine Arts School in Matanzas to Canada in 2018.
Tickets for Trovato’s birthday bash on Nov. 26 at the Rocky Point Taphouse are $25 and includes a burger and beverage. The Inlet Jazz Band and 3CityJazz Ensemble will entertain and door prizes and a 50/50 cash raffle will be available.
To attend, email [email protected] by Nov. 19.
