The first section of a new piece by Harvey Brough, composed for Vox Holloway, the community choir of North London. Performed on Easter Monday 2012. All proceeds from the concert and from sponsorship go to charities for homeless children in London and East Africa. Harvey wrote the piece for no fee, but has asked people to sponsor him to do so, with all the money raised going to the charities. To sponsor him and Vox Holloway, please go to: charitygiving.co.uk/voxholloway
Thank you to all in the audience and to all who took part and helped in our wonderful Easter Monday concert, ‘Lost and Found’. We don’t have the total amount raised yet, but it is looking very healthy indeed. Donations can still be made in support of Home-Start Islington and Save the Children (East Africa) on our Charity Giving page, with many thanks again to all those who have so generously supported these causes already.
