Violinist Sulara Nanayakkara and pianist Johann Peiris will present a Violin- Piano Duo Recital on Tuesday, August 13 at 7.30 pm at the Lionel Wendt Theatre as a fund-raiser for the CFS Prithipura Home, Wattala.
The two young musicians will perform a wide ranging programme of works from Mendelssohn to Hindemith, the Armenian composer Komitas, Paganini and Bloch.
Founded in 1962, under the guidance of Bhikkhu Sumana, the Prithipura Home provides a loving and supportive environment for people with physical and mental difficulties, and currently houses around 60. While the Home is supported by generous donations from well-wishers, due to the economic crisis and donations being fewer, the Home has been struggling to make ends meet. The concert aims to raise much-needed funds for its upkeep.
Tickets priced at Rs 5,000, 4,000, 3,500, 2,000 and 1,000 (balcony) are available at the Lionel Wendt.
