The Heritage YMCA Group sponsored "An Evening with Viktoria Vizin" Saturday at Morton Arboretum's Thornhill Center.

With two young children enrolled in Y programs, Vizin expressed her desire to "give back" to help the Strong Kids Campaign and the YMCA Children's Early Learning Campus - and did she ever.

During her benefit performance, accompanied on a grand piano by William Billingham, assistant conductor of the Lyric Opera in Chicago, an appreciative audience enjoyed the melodic mezzo-soprano voice of the Hungarian-born opera singer who can also belt out memorable Gershwin and Broadway tunes.
