Each year, Catholic Charities is honored to recognize exemplary individuals who have demonstrated a deep commitment to addressing human suffering and promoting and restoring the well-being of people - our own mission. We bestow upon these remarkable persons the Msgr. Thomas J. Reese Award, created in 1989 in memory of Msgr. Reese, a community activist and longtime director of Catholic Social Services, the forerunner of Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities will announce the recipients of the award early in 2010. These individuals will be honored at Catholic Charities Annual Tribute Dinner, to be held Wednesday, March 24, 2010, at the Chase Center on the Riverfront. Festivities will begin at 5 p.m. that evening. Sponsorships are available at four levels, platinum, gold, silver, and bronze.

Maurice Brown is one of the most exciting young trumpeters in jazz—be it New Orleans or New York. His quintet, Maurice Brown Effect, performs fresh sounds while staying true to hard bop roots. Brown’s “improvisations are fresh, his chops dynamic and he’s writing what could very well become a new generation of hard-bop-meets-new-grooves standards,” says DownBeat Magazine. After Hurricane Katrina, Maurice relocated to New York City and began an intense focus on both his individual sound, and the sound of the band, the Maurice Brown Effect. This year alone the band has performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Chicago Jazz Festival, Cape May Jazz Festival, the Louis Armstrong Festival, Kansas City Jazz & Ribs Festival, and the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival. Part of Clifford Brown Year Round, this show is presented in partnership with the City of Wilmington’s DuPont Clifford Brown Jazz Festival and the Christina Cultural Arts Center. Tickets: $24. http://www.mauricebrown.net

One Night of Queen returns to The Grand having blazed international stages, playing theatres, arenas and festivals to sell-out crowds. Along with his band, The Works, Gary Mullen delivers the sound and the incredible showmanship that was the hallmark of Queen in concert. You’ll be rockin’ to your favorite rabble-rousing renditions of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Somebody to Love,” “We are the Champions” and many more! “Indeed, for one night only, Queen and Freddie Mercury came back to life,” says The Salt Lake Tribune. In 2006 One Night of Queen was voted "Greatest Queen tribute act" of readers of music magazine SongLines. In 2007, the same magazine voted Mullen as “Best Freddie Mercury sound-alike.” Tickets: $28 / $31 / $36. http://www.onenightofqueen.com
