Benefit Concert for Nepal
The Paddington Uniting Church in conjunction with the Mid Season Recital group will be hosting a benefit concert for the Nepal earthquake victims. The night will be full of talented performers and various entertainment such as musical acts, poetry recitals and instrumental pieces.
There will be a list of special guests attending the evening. These guests include the Aria award-winning Sally Whitwell, tenor Brad Cooper from Opera Australia and singer Jeannie Lewis.
Sydney composers Peter Urquhart and Caroline Thompson have contributed original works to be performed by Donna Cain, Helen Kwon and the Aurora String Quartet.
In April this year an earthquake shook the small country of Nepal where close to 9000 people died and 23,000 people were injured. This earthquake also triggered an avalanche on Mt Everest killing 19 people.
All proceeds from the benefit concert will be donated to ROPKA, an International Swiss-based Relief Organisation to fund the rebuilding of the small village of Lapundanda where 100% of families have lost their homes.
Light refreshments are included and alcohol is available at the bar. (AMal)
