Join us on Thursday 24 September at the historic St James Garlickhythe Church in central London for a very special evening of live music.
Our Vice President, Grammy award-winning pianist, Christopher Glynn will perform, accompanying internationally renowned soprano Rowan Pierce. They will be joined by our very own Julia White, an oboist, and together they will perform a range of pieces across the centuries to celebrate our work and the power of music to touch people’s lives.
Christopher explains: “As one of the charity’s Vice Presidents, I have seen how deeply their work can touch people’s lives, and how much difference a live musical encounter can make. They offer something no recording or streaming platform can replace – music made in the moment, for particular listeners, with time to talk, listen and share the experience.
“The programme is therefore a celebration of music in its many different roles, moving between songs and melodies in which it is praised, imagined, remembered and shared.”
It promises to be a night of exceptional music. Guests will enjoy wine and canapés from 6:30pm, with music starting at 7:30pm until around 9:20pm. Tickets are £50, but student discounts are available.
Funds raised from this event will help us continue reaching people in hospitals, care homes and community spaces across the UK, where live music can make a meaningful difference.
We look forward to welcoming you to St James Garlickhythe Church on 24 September for an evening to remember.
