Thank you to all who came to the piano recital by Yurii Levkovych from Ukraine last Saturday evening, July 15th. His brilliant playing made it an evening to remember and €959 was raised for the charity SOS Children’s Villages Ukraine in the process.
A pianist from Ukraine, Yurii Levkovych, will give a recital in the church on Saturday, July 15th, starting at 7pm.
