After being diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 15, the inflammation in the joints all over my body forced me to stop playing piano for about a year until, thanks to the care of Dr. Jeffrey Chaitow, I was able to start playing again. Today, thanks to Medicare and a biologic injection by the name of Enbrel etanercept, the chronic disease is under remission and I’m able to perform, study the piano, and pursue my dream of being a concertising pianist, educator, and advocate of the arts.
During my time here in Sydney, I would like share my music with you via the charity concerts I’ll be doing. Please join me in any of these concerts! The program will vary with each concert, and all donations will go to Arthritis NSW.
Please note that there is a 2% service fee for every donation you make on Eventbrite.
If you’d like a tax-deductible receipt, feel free to donate online on Eventbrite. Arthritis NSW will be able to issue you a receipt as well.
If you’d like to avoid the service charge, you can reserve your seat by donating $1 and reserving a ticket, and on the day, you can write either a cheque to Arthritis NSW or donate by cash.
