The Earthquake Relief Concert is being hosted by the Center for Service-Learning, and will feature Turkish music performed live, with several of the musicians, including college staff, from Turkey.

The benefit concert will be held Wednesday evening at 7:00, in the O’Malley-McAllister Auditorium on the Benedictine College campus.

The suggested minimum donation for admission is $5 per person or $20 per family.
Proceeds will benefit earthquake relief efforts through Catholic Relief Services.
