Performance artist Loretta Lau (www.waitinglorettalau.com) will commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Ricker will also be performing protest music from Iran, arranged for solo piano. Ukrainian soprano Antonina Ermolenko (www.antoninaermolenko.com) and pianist Oksana Hahn (www.elitepianostudio.ca/biography) will sing melodies of hope. Pianist Chloe Sun will join Ricker Choi in performing works by Chopin. 70% of net proceeds will be donated to Bonham Tree Aid and the remaining 30% to Amnesty International.
