Simon Tedeschi presents
Concert for Ukraine
Simon Tedeschi (piano) and Sally Walker (flute)
When she was alive, my grandmother always told me that she volunteered at the Sydney Jewish Museum by sharing her story so that ‘what happened’ would never, ever happen again.
Sadly, recent history has shown this to be an idealistic premise.
Nevertheless, I believe it the duty of all free-thinking people to to combat extremism, especially of a nationalistic variety.
As such, I am organising a fundraising concert for Ukraine, at Camelot Lounge in Sydney, and 100% of proceeds will go to supporting the continuing effort of Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s illegal occupation.
Joining me will be the incredible and generous flautist Sally Walker, in a concert of works from Poulenc to Gershwin, and music by Australian and Ukrainian composers too.
I hope you’ll come along for this special evening in support of Ukraine, at this time when more support is urgently needed.
