From Peoria to Lebanon Concert

Join the Peoria Riverfront Museum and the Scottish Rite Theatre as they present From Peoria to Lebanon.

One year ago, a massive warehouse explosion rocked Beirut, Lebanon, killing hundreds of innocents and displacing 300,000. Among the most prominent local populations of central Illinois are thousands of Americans whose family members immigrated from Lebanon. On this anniversary, the Peoria Riverfront Museum presents an unprecedented contemporary art exhibition featuring donated art from artists of Lebanon and a piano concert in partnership with the Scottish Rite Theatre. The concert features Dr. Tony Karam, renowned Lebanese physician and classical pianist.

Proceeds from this event will benefit relief efforts through the Lebanese American University Medical Center, a qualified U.S. 501(c)(3). To make a donation, please visit bit.ly/PeoriatoLebanon.
