Ayman Jarjour (left) and the choir of St Andrew's and St George's Church
Syrian classical guitarist Ayman Jarjour will be the star turn at a charity concert in Edinburgh in September.
The concert, in St Andrew’s and St George’s West Church and also featuring the church’s choir, is in aid of Palcrafts, the charity behind Palestinian fair trade shop Hadeel.
Ayman, who was born in Damascus and studied in New York and Madrid, has performed and taught all over the world. He has previously performed at Scottish events in aid of refugees and alleviating the suffering in his homeland.
Palcrafts aims to provide a sustainable source of income for Palestinian craftspeople by selling goods through the Hadeel shop, based in the Church of Scotland offices on George Street, Edinburgh.
It works with social enterprises in the West Bank, Gaza, as well as one in the Galilee and another in the Negev. It also gives small development grants to producers for equipment and training, and organises educational tours to the producer groups.
The concert will take place in St Andrew’s and St George’s West on Friday September 29, starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are £20 (£15 concessions, £10 under 16s), available online, from Hadeel, the Undercroft Café at the church or on the door.
