On night two of a special benefit concert in the East Village, an entire bill of musicians with close ties to either Turkey or Syria lent their talent Sunday to help victims of this month’s devastating earthquakes that have left more than 40,000 dead in both countries.

“It feels great to feel like we have a strong community where we get together to support each other in situations like this, said clarinet player Ismail Lumanovski.

Lumanovski has Turkish heritage, and said he was performing at a private event in Queens two weeks ago, when he noticed one of his fellow musicians looking frantic.

“He was on the phone when I was playing,” said Lumanovski. “I was like, ‘what’s going on?’ Something serious is happening! I cannot reach my family. It was a horrific, horrific moment.”

And while hope is dwindling to find more survivors, the past few days have seen a small number of miraculous rescues.

Coney Island-based singer-songwriter Faraj Abyad used to live in Syria.

“Unfortunately, I know people who passed away,” said Abyad. “I know whose homes were destroyed, elderly people who I am close with who had to move from one place to another, especially in a small place… everyone knows someone. It’s been a rough time definitely.”

At Sunday’s benefit, he premiered a new song that speaks about holding pain in your heart.

“There have been lots of moments where I spend the time alone,” said Abyad. “It gets to a certain point where you don’t even want to play music or be social. You just want to have those moments along to reflect. It’s been a hard time but at the same time we have events like tonight where people are coming together.”

Organizers say half the proceeds will benefit non-governmental Syrian organizations, while the other half will help non-governmental Turkish organizations that are helping with the relief efforts.

And with more 100% of the ticket proceeds going to the relief efforts, organizers expected to raise about $40,000 in donations.
