We’re so grateful for the support of groups like Buxton Musical Society, who stage Handel’s Messiah every three years in December and have chosen to fundraise for Music in Hospitals & Care at their last two performances.
The latest was also their first performance after a long break due to lockdown, which made it even more special for both the society and the audience. The collection after the concert raised over £300.
Kathryn, the society’s Chair, said: “The benefits of live music are clear to all of us who are members of music groups. Music in Hospitals & Care plays a vital role in bringing the healing power of music to those who need it most and Buxton Musical Society are privileged to be able to support such a fabulous organisation.”
Could your choir or musical group donate a performance or retiring collection this Christmas, or in celebration of our 75th anniversary next year? Find out more and register your interest.
