A little snippet from Saturday evening! 🎶
I know that my Redeemer Liveth - Handel’s Messiah
@oldpriorians

[St Benedict's Music @stbenniesmusic]

Superb performance by @Bench_Catherine (OP 2015) soprano soloist for Handel’s Messiah at Ealing Abbey @stbenedicts @EAbbeyW5 with @EalinAbbeyChoir #throughstbenedicts #handelsmessiah

The @LDNairamb #HelipadAbsail is a great example of a fundraising challenge that fits the cause perfectly & is a conversation opener with supporters' networks. "Each charity here has their own Helipad," says presenter @Bench_Catherine #iwitot https://t.co/VwwkcrdMgw

Our new workshop series for teens in Alternative Provision settings, ETO Lyrics, will use the power of lyrics and song writing to aid the creative expression of young people🎤🎶🎸 Help us launch this exciting program by making a match-funded donation here: https://t.co/nyR7ZzkvBT

[Catherine Bench @Bench_Catherine]

@meenamtj @DominicHadds @CIOFtweets Booked myself into all sessions!

[Catherine Bench @Bench_Catherine]

I just donated to the @nycgb match campaign.

NYCGB was instrumental in my development as a musician through exceptional courses and as a professional in the arts, offering my first jobs and work experience as an administrator in the arts.

30 mins left to double your donation!

[National Youth Choir @natyouthchoir]

There's under 90 minutes left and we still need £1216 in donations!

Can you help?

Every £ donated will be match funded until midday today, which means that if we raise another £1216, we'll reach our £60,000 goal! How incredible would that be?
