With the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Peter Barritt decided to organise a weekend of musical events in Shrewsbury to help raise funds for the humanitarian relief fund DEC Ukraine. The Keyboard Charitable Trust kindly put out a message to the young artists it assists, to ask for volunteers to play without charge in support of the victims of war.
Three pianists volunteered their services and a series of recitals in St Alkmunds Church, St Chads Church and Shrewsbury Abbey were performed during April 2022.
