A free-will benefit concert to raise money for earthquake victims in Iran took place last Thursday at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln cultural center. It brought in a total of $500.
A number of musicians and bands donated their time and talent for the cause. An acoustic duo from UNL, who played cover songs such as “Tears in Heaven” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” opened the evening.
Doane senior Chris “Howie” Howard and junior Scott Morris, howie&scott, also played at the benefit.
Other acts included an Iranian musician and Michael Murphy.
Poetry about the Iran earthquakes, Iraq war and other foreign affairs was read between each musical act.
Sponsors of the benefit were the UNL Muslim Student Association, UNL Iranian Student Association, Nebraskans for Peace and Amnesty International.
Seniors Andrea Clark and Katharine Lamarche and sophomore Bridget Kimball, members of P.E.A.C.E. and Club Internationale, attended the benefit concert.
“I think it was a nice effort for the Muslim group to put on this event,” Clark said. “I really enjoyed the variety of music they offered. But, at the same time I think it was a shame that not a lot of people were there.”
