| Charities
We try to support charities, especially those which are active in our local area. Here are some we have raised money for recently: |
||||||
  At
our concert in December 2008 we raised money for Heart
Research UK , whose "Sing for your Heart" event takes place
for a week before Christmas each year. |
||||||
 Proceeds from the sale of programmes and a retiring collection at the performance of Messiah in Stockton-on-Tees on 25 November 2006 were donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care, Making Music's official charity for that year. |
 We held an Open Rehearsal of Vivaldi's Gloria on World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, 6 October 2007, and raised £450, divided between Teesside Hospice and Herriot Hospice Homecare, which both serve our area. Voices for Hospices is a coordinated "Mexican wave" of musical events around the world every two years on this day.  |
