Going into its 4th year, the Andy Kim Christmas has been gathering friends and fans together to celebrate the spirit and generosity of the musical community in Montreal with all proceeds going to charity. The concert event is the brainchild of music legend, and the evening’s host and performer, Andy Kim.

“It’s our 4th Annual Andy Kim Christmas & as I look back I’m awed by the magic & spirituality of this one idea.’ Ask my fellow Canadian Artists to help me help our community.’ Giving is always the best part of an artists’ life & knowing that we are raising money for a worthwhile cause makes it all worthwhile.
My relationship with Starlight Children’s Foundation is a very special one & as I continue to see how this program makes a difference in our community, I am proud to again make this my Charity of choice.”

Ron Sexsmith says, “I look forward to the Andy Kim Christmas Show every year…Even more than Christmas itself.”

“Starlight is so proud to be the recipient of the Andy Kim Christmas concert once again this year. Everyone knows that Andy is a legend and an icon, but he is also a gentleman and wonderful human being. The love in the room at this event is unlike anything I’ve experienced before.  It’s the best way I know to celebrate the holiday season.” says Brian Bringolf, Executive Director of the Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada.
