Justyna Szafran, Krzysztof “Grabaż” Grabowski and Pectus frontman Tomasz Szczepanik will perform in an online charity concert that will be streamed all over Poland. Eager viewers will be able to support the treatment of a six-year-old who suffers from a brain tumor.
The concert "I want to be close to you" will be available on the website of the CHCEmisie Foundation, which is based in Poznań, western Poland, and has been helping children and young people in life-threatening situations for years.
The participation of musicians from all over the country is a response to the “forced isolation and quarantine,” Paweł Kwiatkowski, concert organizer, told PAP, Polish state-run news agency.
Szafran is a Polish actress and singer. Grabowski is a Polish poet, singer and author of lyrics and music for songs by bands including Pidżama Porno and Strachy Na Lachy. Formed in 2005 in south-east Poland, Pectus is a popular Polish pop-rock band.
The concert begins at 8 pm (CET) on March 18, 2020. For more, follow https://www.facebook.com/FundacjaChceMisie/.
