Come and Sing Fauré Requiem in Aid of Ukraine

I am putting on a Come and Sing’ Faure ‘Requiem’ together with a Ukrainian anthem at SJE Arts, Oxford on Sunday 3rd April. 

This war has challenged me on so many levels and I felt I wanted to do what I can do, which is make music, as my offer of help and support to those poor people caught up in this senseless war. 

Through their benevolence, I am delighted to be joined by:
  • Roderick Williams - Baritone
  • Harriet Burns - Soprano

We will also have a small professional orchestra for the concert.

Donate

All proceeds from this event will be going to the following charities:
  • The Ukraine Crisis Appeal run by The British Red Cross Society 
  • Ukraine Appeal run by Save the Children
  • The work that UK-MED are doing in Poland and Ukraine

The conductor, soloists, orchestra and video production team are all waiving their fees. 
Positive Note Films will also be livestreaming the event. You can subscribe to their channel and watch the livestream here.
