Carl is the young resident organist of St. Elizabeth’s of Portugal RC Church, Richmond, an amateur classical pianist (Dip. ABRSM in Piano Performing) and an Iraqi Christian fortunate to have been brought up here in London. ICIN was founded in 2007 to help address the needs of our brothers and sisters in Iraq who have either become displaced within Iraq or have fled to neighbouring Syria and Jordan. The cause supports programmes that provide medical care, primary and adult education and financial help to widows and other disadvantaged Christians and all aid is channeled through the local church hierarchy. Further information about ICIN may be found at http://www.icin.org.uk/information/
Here is a programme of events raising money to help Iraqi Christians Concerts web
Tickets are £15 each (children under 10 years permitted for free) and can be bought at http://www.icin.org.uk/
The most recent case study includes a solo organ recital at St. Elizabeth’s of Portugal Roman Catholic Church, Richmond, where we raised £2075 for CAFOD’s Syrian Crisis Appeal http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/10882625.Organ_recital_raising_cash_for_Philippines_appeal/
If you feel these recitals could be advertised in Life Ascending, please do let me know. I will also be contacting several fellow Catholic and Christian publications for help.
