A Carnegie Hall concert to benefit multiple sclerosis (MS) research, featuring Philadelphia area school choirs, will be held 8 p.m. on Friday, June 3, in New York City.

The 2005 "Music from the Heart" concert, hosted by the Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Center at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, will feature performances by the Valley Forge Military Academy and College Regimented Choir, the Young Women's Choral Society and guest pianist Dr. William Carr. Ticket prices range from $30 to $60 each. The Country Day School is a private independent college preparatory school from pre-kindergarten to twelfth grades.

All of the concert’s proceeds will go to multiple sclerosis research, including studies underway at the Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Center at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital of Philadelphia.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects about 350,000 people in the United States. Aside from traumatic injury, it is the leading cause of disability among young adults. In MS, the person's own immune system damages areas of the brain and spinal cord. 

The Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Center at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital has as its mission to provide comprehensive patient care and to advance research into the cause and treatment of MS. The Center has a team of expert clinicians, nurses and research staff striving to provide the best treatment possible of the disease.
