The annual fundraiser ‘Sur Aur Saaz’ was held to raise funds in support of The Muhammad Idrees Campus in Karachi, a school TCF Australia has been supporting. The event was a sell-out musical evening with Sahar Raza, a visiting singer from Toronto, who enthralled the audience with her beautiful renditions of classical songs and ghazals. Sahar also performed a variety of folk songs as well as some popular tunes, much to the enjoyment of the audience. She engaged the audience completely bringing the house down with “Dum a Dum Mast Qalander” at the finale. During the show, there was a Raffle draw with lots of wonderful prizes donated towards this noble cause of education for underprivileged children. The event was attended by Consul General Abdul Majid Yousfani, and his wife, veteran actress Uzma Gilani amongst other notable guests.
