Handel's Messiah Performance raises funds for the Trust
On Wednesday 14 December 2011 the London Concert Choir gave a performance of Handel's Messiah at Cadogan Hall in London. The Appeal and retiring collection made after this performance, on behalf of the Trust, raised over £1700.
We are grateful to those that supported us by attending the concert. Donations can still be made via www.bmycharity.com/charities/chancearts
Our Twentieth Anniversary
Wednesday 14 December 2011 - Cadogan Hall, Sloane Terrace, London SW1
London Concert Choir will be giving a performance of Handel's Messiah.
Messiah remains Handel's best known work, although this was not a status that it enjoyed until the last few years of his life, brought about by annual performances in Handel's oratorio seasons and charitable benefit concerts at the Foundling Hospital (an organisation for underprivileged children). It is therefore fitting that West London head teacher, Carole Jones, has kindly agreed to make an Appeal at this performance on behalf of the Trust after which a retiring collection will be taken.
We very much hope you will support us by attending the concert and giving a donation or through: www.bmycharity.com/charities/chancearts
