S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 In a bid to help young Lebanese artists through the difficult times in the country, with the Port of Beirut blast on August 4, the coronavirus pandemic, and a political and economic crisis, conductor Jo\u00e3o Carlos Martins (pictured above<\/em>) announced that he will play a concert with the SESI-SP Bachiana Philharmonic Orchestra to raise funds once the pandemic is over and concert halls and auditoriums have reopened.<\/p>\n

Martins will upload a video to launch a campaign on Saturday (15) on his Instagram<\/a> account. He made a video of himself performing Lebanon\u2019s National Anthem alongside the orchestra\u2019s tenor Jean William, who sings in Arabic, this Friday (14) at the FIESP auditorium. \u00a0Martins also delivered a piano rendition of Enrico Macias\u2019\u201cBeyrouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The maestro says times are hard right now for students of the arts, music, theater, filmmaking and the fine arts in Beirut, as well as anyone else. \u201cSo I am announcing that the SESI-SP Bachiana Philharmonic Orchestra is playing a concert as soon as possible, once the pandemic has ended, to raise funds for art students in the city of Beirut,\u201d Martins told ANBA.<\/p>\n

He hopes other Brazilian artists will follow suit and play concerts to help raise funds. \u201cMy idea is to have the campaign go viral so that other artists will join in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Martins has done several campaigns to the benefit of vulnerable communities and people with disabilities in Brazil. \u201cFor the first time, I am doing a campaign over something that happened overseas,\u201d he said. This will also be the first campaign in Brazil specifically designed to help Lebanese artists in the wake of the disaster.<\/p>\n

It should be a while before the concert takes place, since all venues are closed to prevent the coronavirus from spreading, and no one knows when this will end.<\/p>\n

The maestro says he has no ties whatsoever to the Lebanese community in Brazil. \u201cI respect all communities. I come from a Portuguese family, but this is a cause we all must be involved in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Maestro Jo\u00e3o Carlos Martins made his first Instagram post almost two years ago, in September 2018. Right now, he has almost 170,000 followers on the social media.<\/p>\n
