The British-Croatian Society have arranged a concert that promises to be both great music as well as a chance to support a very worthwhile cause.
Friday 10th June 2011 at 7:30pm
Notting Hill Community Church
Kensington Park Road
London W11 2ES
Tickets: £18
Concessions: £15 – buy in advance from dean.cacija@gmail.com or suzanamartinovic30@yahoo.co.uk or buy on the door.
Tickets also available after the 4 pm Sunday service at Sacred Heart Croatian Church.
The Concert
The BCS are delighted to announce that Daniel Cacija, an up-and-coming baritone in the jazz world, will be performing with his jazz quartet here in London. Fresh from the Graz Jazz Music Academy in Austria, these musicians are the best of the new generation of jazz artists. They are an award-winning, high-quality, jazz quartet who have done numerous tours of Croatia, Austria, Germany and France to much acclaim. Daniel is a captivating and charismatic performer with an exceptional vocal talent and he has recently been selected to represent Croatia in the European Union Jazz Competition 2011.
The Cause
The aim of this concert is to raise funds for music therapist Dean Cacija who is instigating Life Music: a humanitarian project that uses Music Therapy as an intervention for people suffering from severe, psychological war-related traumas in Croatia. Dean came to London near the start of the financial recession to receive specialist training as a music therapist on the Master’s degree programme at The Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Centre. A few months into his training, his sponsorship and funding from the Croatian Govern- ment and other organisations ceased due to the severity with which the financial recession hit Croatia’s economy. Through the generos- ity of friends, Dean has continued his studies, but at great financial debt. These financial set backs have inevitably hindered the commencement of Dean’s pioneering music therapy projects in Croatia. By raising money for Dean we are not just helping his story, but we know that we are ultimately enabling people with debilitating war traumas to have access to the psychological support that they require to lead a life free from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
