I am a Japanese pianist in London, and I have been extremely shocked and saddened by the tragedy in Japan. All my family are in North Kanto area and living with fear of after shock and radiation every day. I have been extremely frustrated for not being able to be there to help them. I have organised 2 concerts in the City and all my professional classical musicians and Japanese artists friends kindly offered to join me. Please come and support us to raise money for the charity and enjoy our concert
