Karkowska Sisters Duo to perform benefit concert

This Sunday, September 20, is the anxiously awaited concert by the Karkowska Sisters at the Miami Conservatory of Music. The concert, a benefit for the Children's Survival Network, consists of piano and violin music.

The event is from 3 to 5 pm. Tickets for the event are free, donations are encouraged, with all the money collected benefiting the Miami-based child abuse-prevention organization.

The Karkowska Sisters Duo is an award winning, internationally acclaimed ensemble that in addition to a recital and chamber music repertoire performs extraordinary programs of virtuosity and laughter, full of beautiful music, unforgettable stories and comedy.

Anna, virtuoso violinist, and Kasha, concert pianist, graduated from the Julliard School of Music in New York City and the Chopin Academy in Warsaw. The Duo has recorded for Polish, Mexican, and American Television and Radio. They have also thrilled audiences at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Olympia Theater at Gusman Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, National Grand Theater in Warsaw and National Center for the Arts in Mexico City.

Miami-based Children’s Survival Network’s mission is to prevent child abuse. It partners with local communities to provide Child Abuse Prevention programs and maintain an ongoing campaign of public awareness.

For Dr. Marc Greenfield, who heads Children’s Survival Network, the event is a glorious opportunity to enjoy an evening with some of the most exciting and vibrant music being played live. The sisters are known for both their humor, love of life and exhilarating performances, so the September 20 event will be one to remember, he said.
