March 2022
Our performance of the Armed Man - a Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins and Faure's Requiem on Saturday 26 March 2022 was a very moving occasion. We dedicated our performance to Ukraine and the words we sang were very poignant in the light of the war and destruction in Ukraine. We also raised £715.66p for the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal. Feedback from our audience was of a very moving performance.
