Feel like spending an evening with a Tantric sex guru, a well-known detective/Lothario and a Grammy-winning musician-slash-political activist? Oh, and do you also have a hankering to raise some money for a great cause? Your wish just came true.

One Night Live is a star-studded benefit at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto to raise money for the Women & Babies Program at Sunnybrook Hospital. Not only will audience members be treated to live performances from Sting, Sheryl Crow and the Canadian Tenors, the evening will be hosted by Chris Noth of Law & Order/Sex and the City fame.

Canadian Tenor Fraser Walters is thrilled to be participating in the event. “We are so looking forward to working with both Sheryl Crow and Sting,” he said. “They have both had exceptional careers and are truly an inspiration to us not only for their outstanding artistic successes but also for their years of giving back to causes that they believe in.”

The Canadian Tenors (who have shared the spotlight with Paul Anka, Cher, Quincy Jones, Brian McKnight and Oprah foundling Charice, among others) are no strangers to international philanthropy. This time around, they are happy to be helping out in their own backyards.

“The money raised from One Night Live will allow for an expansion of (Sunnybrook’s) Bayview Campus, accommodating many more high-risk births as well as supporting leading-edge research, education and care in women's health,” Walters explained. “The audience is guaranteed an amazing night with awesome and diverse music from artists that are passionate about sharing the gift of song. “

Will there be any surprises or tricks up their collective sleeves?

“Of course, but you have to be there to find out!”

One Night Live is happening on May 21st.
