"Song of Love" Performed at the new Maria Fareri Children's Hospital Construction Site!

Friends of the new Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center, in Valhalla, NY, scheduled for completion in 2004, performed a "Song of Love" for Westchester Medical Center kidney transplant patient Brett Bollerman. Songs of Love was invited to the special donor event to demonstrate the new hospital's intention of incorporating unique programs for the children.

Songs of Love Founder John Beltzer directed the hardhat donning guests in the unfinished lobby as they all raised their voices in song. The Benson-Scott Big Band, a sixteen piece orchestra, also played along on Brett's "Song of Love". This collaboration with the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital will mark the first time that Songs of Love will be on the menu of special programs offered to the children from the very first day a new hospital opens its doors.
