The urgent need to unite as a country after the Easter Sunday terror attacks was clearly demonstrated by 21 musicians, public and private sector and civil society at the ‘21/4WeCare’ Tribute Concert held on Saturday at the BMICH. The ‘sold-out’ event was held in aid of scholarships to orphans of the Easter Sunday terror attacks.
