ICOM Europe and ICOM Germany are organizing a fund-raising concert for 
the reconstruction and restoration of sites and relics of cultural 
heritage that were destroyed during the earthquake in Sichuan, China, in 
May this year. International media has hardly taken notice of the fact 
that several museums and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites were badly 
damaged. Detailed  information about the damages to Chinese museums in 
the region can be found at: http://icom.museum/disaster_relief/china.

The concert will take place on August 31, 2008 at the German Historical 
Museum in Berlin. (see: www.icom-deutschland.de 
<http://www.icom-deutschland.de/>.) It features the Chinese-German Duo 
Dong West with the singer Vivien Lee and the pianist and percussionist 
Volker Greve. The Duo Dong West links European and Chinese musical 
traditions in a unique way. Their compositions, improvisations and 
arrangements may be described as Chinese Ethno-Jazz. (see: 
www.duo-dong-west.de <http://www.duo-dong-west.de>) The funds will be 
used to support restoration works in museums in Sichuan.
