Fundraising Concert for Keys of Change and the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta on 1 June 2015

Can music change the world? The UK charity Keys of Change believes it can – it has seen the results in their projects to bring the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta to London last year, in  providing music lessons to deprived children in India and Ecuador, and in playing to young people in remote communities around the world. This year  Keys of Change are planning even more, including  performances by an expanded Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta in Fukushima and Tokyo in August 2015. To help fund their activities, they are organising a concert on Monday 1 June at St John’s Smith Square in central London, given by the acclaimed pianist Panos Karan and a gifted young British singer, Anna Maria Muñoz.

As anyone who attended the Fukushima concert last year will know, Keys of Change’s concerts are extremely accessible, and Panos’s enthusiasm is completely captivating.

We do hope you will be able to come – and bring lots of friends. The concert begins at 7.30pm and will end by 9.40pm. For full programme details and to book tickets, go to

All funds from the concert will support Keys of Change’s musical activities and the Condor Trust’s educational programme in Ecuador.

Internationally acclaimed pianist Panos Karan has not only delighted audiences in London, New York and Tokyo with his “sparkling” and “heartfelt” playing, he has also captivated completely new listeners along the banks of the Amazon, in Sierra Leone, India and in Fukushima, Japan, following the tsunami.

 

The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation was delighted to have supported Keys of Change and the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta’s concerts in London last year:
