Members of the public are invited to take part in a singing workshop, and a concert entitled Live, Laugh, Love, on Saturday 26th April at St Mary’s Church in Cowes.
The events are in aid of Cowes teenager Arlo Lambie, to raise funds for follow-up treatment of his grade 4 brain tumour which was diagnosed last year.
The afternoon workshop (14:00 – 17:30), led by the choir’s director, Hannah Brear, requires no previous singing experience and is open to all.
The choir’s evening concert will be an uplifting musical feast, including two songs which workshop attendees will perform with the choir. Musical accompaniment is provided by Jon Thorne (bassist from the band Lamb), drummer Chris Jones (from The Plastic Mermaids) and pianist Chris Barker.
Event organiser and musical director, Hannah Brear, said:
“It’s almost impossible to imagine what Arlo and his family must be going through right now. The island community has this amazing ability to come together and it’s a real privilege to be able to work with fellow musicians to create a special, memorable event that will benefit such a worthwhile cause.
“We’re all delighted to be able to help Arlo and his family and hope the workshop and concert will be well supported by other islanders who also want to do their bit to help, whist having fun and creating something beautiful in the process.”
Tickets are £15 each for workshop plus concert; or £10 each for concert only. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Book at https://mcctickets.co.uk/
