Canadian pianist Arne Sahlen performs internationally, and is a Visiting
Professor at RUFA. Raves for his playing include:
- "outrageously enjoyable!"
- "a fine performance graced with personal warmth and humour."
Arne is President of the Cambodia Support Group, helping Khmer people and
their country since 1983. CSG now aids women and family, child protection,
disabled, and fine arts work in Cambodia.
The RUFA 'Adopt-an-Instrument' campaign asks you to sponsor traditional
instrument costs and help to revive the great musical heritage here. The
goal: 100 instruments in this Khmer year 2005-06. Canadian Ambassador
Donica Pottie, the first sponsorship donor, was followed soon by past
Ambassador Gordon Longmuir.
