Suzan Kerunen the concert curator revealed that Bernice will be joined by Pearl Rhythm stagecoach artists in Uganda and friends in the diaspora in a concert that seeks to give a platform to artistes who have been silenced by covid-19 outbreak.
Kerunen noted that Covid 19 pandemic continues to sideline the arts but artists still have a greater role to play in bringing back sanity to society. “We can’t allow to be silenced by covid and we believe we can awaken our cultural values and soothing heartbroken societies with art therapy while taking advantage of available digital resources and platforms, to reach as many societies as possible and lending a helping hand to orphanages, refugees, schools, Universities and the general public with art that adds value to lives” she noted
