On Sunday June 14, the Summerland United Church hosted the piano students of Jean Boothe.
The benefit recital for recent newcomers to Summerland, the Albetar family from Syria, showcased young pianists giving their gift of music to those less fortunate.
The musicians performed pieces including baroque, classical, tango, blues, jazz and calypso.
The energy and enthusiasm in their performances generated a light-hearted mood for appreciative audience members and served to bring all present together in the common goal of helping a family of five make a new life for itself in Canada.
