WAY TO GO MIA GO

At 7 years old, Mia Go sang the psalm in one of the masses of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish

Glen Eden, Auckland. She may hold the record as the youngest cantor in New Zealand. And

Mia continues to reach for the stars having competed against more mature contestants in the

finals of Westfield Henderson’s “5 Minutes of Fame” competition, and improving her craft

under the mentorship of topnotch vocal coach Anna de Guzman.

In one recent social activity, Mia charmed the audience with her acapella rendition of “When You

Believe”, a song originally performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, two of her idols. Not only did she possess stage presence, Mia delivered the lines flawlessly, hitting the high notes with

ease. That performance would have melted the heart of terror X-Factor judge Simon Cowell.

On November 27, 2011, Mia will perform two songs in GigAlive Celebrating our Children to be held in St Mary’s Northcote,

Auckland. This may be the final appearance of Mia on stage, as her family will migrate to Australia before the year ends.

Mia will be joined by other young performers, namely Yes Way Jose, T-Kids, John Fabian and the beneficiary of the concert, Eleanor Adviento. Get your tickets now. Email: librelaw@yahoo.com

GigAlive: Concert of Inspirational and Spiritual Songs with a

dash of Pop Music

“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid

them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a

little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.” (Mark 10:13-16)

The image of Jesus Christ welcoming the children leads us, parents and adults, to understand the

importance of children in our lives and to God. The special relationship of Jesus with the children is

because of their innocence and their unquestioning faith.

And it is that same kind of relationship that God wants us, parents and adults, to develop with God,

for truly we are His children and He is our Father.

With music we shall celebrate this special relationship with our Father, and with more meaning

through the songs of our children. They shall render inspirational and spiritual songs with a dash of

pop music in praise of God.
