The internationally-acclaimed musician, who has been described by critics as a “remarkable virtuoso”, is a dedicated supporter of the charity which provides medical care for thousands of people caught up in the violence of his war-torn country.

A graduate of the famous Juilliard School in New York, Ayman Jarjour has performed solo and with orchestra in many parts of the world including Syria, Belgium, Lebanon, Egypt, Malta, Jordan, Germany, Tunisia, Sudan, Turkey, the US and the UK.

A spokesperson for MRAG said: “This is a rare opportunity to hear a live performance by one of the world’s greatest classical guitarists and we are very privileged that he has agreed to play here in Milngavie.”

Medecins Sans Frontieres operates in more than 60 countries, bringing medical and humanitarian aid to people affected by war, disease and disasters, regardless of race, creed or political beliefs.
