“It’s our 5th Annual Andy Kim Christmas and  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 and  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.” – Andy Kim

“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.

During this one-of-a-kind charity event, patrons will be treated to a classic variety entertainment show that includes holiday performances by some of the country’s most sought-after singer/songwriters and performers. Past guests include Sam Roberts, Martha Wainwright, Ron Sexsmith, Broken Social Scene, Patrick Watson, Roch Voisine, Arkells, Platinum Blonde, Tom Wilson, Bobby Bazini, MIchel Pagliaro and more. Join us for a magical evening jam-packed with Canadian talent and Christmas music.

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