Established in London, Deren Eryılmaz, who helps young people in music at her piano academy, organized her first official concert at her home in support of DOĞÇEV, which works to protect all kinds of creatures in nature and raise awareness about the environment. Gülsin Onay, who attended the concert with her husband, Tony Scholl, a mathematics professor in Cambridge, expressed her great pleasure at being part of this meaningful concert.
