As you know our yearly concert will be a fundraiser for Palestinians in Gaza and The West Bank. We have enlisted several outstanding musical groups, who will combine to create an unforgettable concert of uplifting and inspiring works of creativity.
Here are the musicians:
Phil Monsour
Phil’s music is a loud cry against apathy and a compelling call to solidarity. A Brisbane-based musician with an extensive record as a solo performer, his powerful songs tell the inspiring human stories buried in mainstream headlines.
