Radio personality to emcee Amasong concert

BLOOMINGTON – WGN Radio personality Kathy O'Malley will emcee a concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Westbrook Auditorium in Presser Hall at Illinois Wesleyan University featuring Amasong, Champaign-Urbana's premier lesbian/feminist chorus, and the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus.

O'Malley, of "The Kathy and Judy Show," is known for her witty personality. Both Amasong and the Gay Men's Chorus are award-winning groups that are returning to Bloomington after having presented a concert there in 2005 that drew more than 300 people.

Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the door or in advance at the Garlic Press, 108 W. North St., Normal, or by mailing a check to the Advocacy Council for Human Rights, P.O. Box 5048, Bloomington, IL 61702-5048.

The concert is the main fundraising event for the Advocacy Council for Human Rights, which formed in 1995 in Bloomington-Normal and worked to gain human rights ordinances in both cities. For more information about the council, e-mail info@achril.com.
