My fundraising piano recital tour is finished! 32 concerts across the UK, from Plymouth to Durham, to raise funds for City of Sanctuary local groups. I am thrilled to say that I am very close to reaching my target of £88,000! Please help in my final push to achieve it by donating here
It has been an incredibly uplifting experience for me. In the course of my travels I met many wonderful people who are doing so much to help refugees in the UK. I also met a number of refugees and heard their heart-breaking stories first-hand. Many of them would be destitute without the support given to them by City of Sanctuary groups. In a rising tide of hate and hostility, it was life-affirming to witness so much care and compassion across the UK. It has given me hope for the future.

My special charity single has been launched! ‘Memories from my Land’ is a beautiful, haunting piano piece which was written for me by Kurdish composer Moutaz Arian. I have been performing it all over the UK in my recital series ‘Far From the Home I Love’ to raise awareness of the plight of refugees and asylum seekers. It is now available as a track download with the proceeds going to UK City of Sanctuary. Your donation will help all their local groups with the work they do to make our cities welcoming places for those fleeing war and persecution.
